    Hi,

    Just read Martins newsletter and after his advice of not using debit cards abroad I have just found this pre-paid card.

    With the exchange rate for the Euro currently at 1.17, this card offers 1.16 which is the best I have found so far. What do you guys think?

    I've ordered a couple of those cards for our upcoming summer trip to the USA, I think they are the way to go, far better rates than I've found anywhere plus the added security of not having to carry cash.

    Can I use this card to withdraw cash at an ATM? I am going away in four weeks. Have I got enough time to get one through ok?
