I’d like to get a card for my 17 year old. Is a debit card the right option or a top up card? I know Revolut let’s you add a card for minors. Is there a better option?
They’ve reached quite an age not to have a bank account with a debit card! You can usually open an account with a Visa debit card from age 11 (eg Halifax Expresscash).
The Revolut option might be a good option if they are SEND though.

Revolut as @Andrew. suggests is fantastic too.
+1 for Revolut – they can have a supplementary one on an adult’s account so you can load it up accordingly and keep track of what they spend!
My considerably younger children have Revolut <18 accounts. Each adult “free” tier Revolut account can have one child account – so I “host” one child account and my P2 has the other child account.
Very useful for contactless on occasional London visits without hassle of getting + topping up Oyster.
