Fair FX card for the Far East

united4eva

Hi guys, im soon travelling to Hong Kong and the Far East, would The Fair FX pre paid card be suitable? As it only lets you buy in Dollars/Euro would it be worthwhile for such a trip??

Thanks in advance

I spend alot of time in the far east and was recently in Hong Kong. I'm not familar with the card you mention. Can you get a Nationwide debt/credit card?

Hong Kong has it's own currency, albeit one that's pegged to the USD. Everything is priced in HKD.

Some countries in Asia will take USD cash directly, or bill credit cards in USD. Vietnam is an example where USD is often acceptable - though credit cards will often be surcharged by the vendor if they are accepted at all.
