LLoyds Duo card (Air miles)

cundall

Hi,

I am trying to find out if i buy a currency travel card on the LLoyds Duo card if i will be charged the 3% fee (cash advance) as i know in the on some cards it comes up as a transaction and not a cash advance.

Does anyone have any idea or has anyone tried this?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about Lloyds as most do charge. you re better off checking direct

Never tried it myself, but quite sure it's going to be a cash advance.

To buy a currency travel card, you should always use a Maestro/Solo card - they do not incur a charge. Be warned that even VISA Debits charge a certain fee!

Thanks for the info, i was trying to work out if i could cheat airmiles by buying travelers cheques or a cash card and then paying it back into my account but sadly this will not work

Yes it should be charge as a cash advance as that is what it is - cash
