Cheap Travel Money Discussion Area

So I went to the travelmoneymax website and looked for cheapest price for buying £200 worth of euros, and the result is by using a Halifax Clarity card
So, I already have one of these cards
How do I buy Euros with it, at this top rate, ahead of my holiday next month?

Thank you

You go to the airport. Get on a plane to the Eurozone. Land. Go to an ATM. Put your card in. Enter your PIN. Tell it how many Euros you want. Reject the chance to transact in sterling. Watch Euros get dispensed. Collect those Euros. Walk away, being careful you're not followed.

Simples!

Can anyone advise how I can transfer money from my bank account onto my daughters Sainsbury Cash Passport. She's volunteering in a township near Durban and has run out of money - she didn't take her debit card as we thought the cash passport would be safer but I'm finding it impossible to load money onto her card! Any advice much appreciated. Thank you

I'm unable to make the links to the 'Reloading' section in their website work on my computer, to get any definite information, but it is unlikely that anyone but your daughter can load money onto her card.

Did she not set up her card account online and be able to top it up herself?

There's a freephone number you can call to check - 0800 056 0572

They give a number for use in South Africa that your daughter might try - 0800 982 674

I'm afraid you made a bad choice with this card, and another not to have her take her debit card as a backup.

Which card are you using?

Hello All, firstly, apologies if I'm posting this to the wrong area !! I have now received my Travelex Supercard, and have linked my two debit cards to it, the one I will mainly use one is a Co-Operative Bank card. The secondary card is a Lloyds card. Can anyone confirm that if I use my Supercard in the USA, I won't be charged ANY fees by either bank, other than for ATM withdrawals ? Many thanks in advance !

We are going to Crete. Is it best to change some cash into euros before we go or get a credit card with 0% fee like Halifax clarity?
Thx
