Just loaded up my hol spending money on this only to read loads of people having nightmares getting there money at ATM's etc when abroad, so obviously a bit worried. Its going to cost about 150 GBP to get the money back off the card too should i choose not to take it away with. Has anyone had any experience of using these...?
Not familiar with this one but is it too late to get a Halifax Clarity card as a back-up? They seem to be the default "best way to spend overseas" card for both purchases and cash withdrawls.
Had one for Australia a couple of years ago, worked ok there
dmorts - did it charge you for taking money out ATM?
Ecky - Yes i think its too late, i go tomorrow...
We use ours all the time now -France, Portugal and Ireland so far.
Only refused money once in a bank in Morzine....but there's always another one round the corner 😀
BFITH - Thats what i want to hear, more good news please as to empty the card before i go would cost me 150GBP in buy back ...P*** take.
Have you ever incurred any charge for top up whilst away or ATM fees?
