Loading a Prepaid Card from a USD Account

My bank cannot offer a US debit card for that account and I'm not able…

Esky - What have I paid for?
Evening all. Made a bit of a !!!!!! up when booking some flights. I tend to use price comparison sites and Skyscanner etc and then go and book direct with the airline.

Flight Cancellation Refund
Last week I had a e-mail from Ryanair titled "Ryanair Schedule Change" giving me the options of accepting new times, flight change or refund. When I checked my flight times the only one had changed was the inbound by just by 5 mins. Thought it was strange as the rule is 5 hour or over for a refund. As was planning to go…

Using old euro notes
I’ve not been abroad since a few years before the pandemic and had kept all the currency I had left from before rather than exchange it back. I also inherited some other currency after my parents died. This is all paper rather than polymer notes. I read that older euro notes don’t get taken out of circulation as ours do…

Car hire excess insurance at the desk
Can anyone just confirm if what I’m thinking is correct please. It’s been a little while since I’ve hired a car. I think I’m right in thinking that the agents on site always want you to get their own all singing all dancing super cover so that you don’t need to worry about paying out any kind of excess. I always used to…
