Does anyone know if this is the best idea for buying euros? I'm going on holiday in a month and I'm a bit stumped as to whether to take all cash, travellers cheques, the post office pre-paid card, or this one?

  • Personally I've never heard of this one - I have a FairFX card that I use when paying by card and Caxton when I withdraw cash (the rate is slightly better with Fairfx but they charge an ATM fee where Caxton don't).

    I also take £100 for bits for the journey there and back.

    Hope you have a nice time!
