Looks as though I'll just be using my cashcard then. Thanks for that.

Such a pain. Tried appealing with Nationwide but they're not having any of it!!

Cap one charge you a % - it should tell you the foreign currency conversion charge on the back of your statement; my OH's says 2.75%.

I see you're going to Oz too - is that for a holiday? Where & for how long are you going?

Great. So that means I really will have to just use my cashcard, a £1 per transaction is ok, but only for LARGE transactions.. :mad:

So irritating that I cant get one!!xx

I know this might sound daft but can you not open an Aussie account when your then and transfer all your money into that account?

Nah thats not daft. Have opened a Citibank account which I'll have to activate when I arrive, but Australian banks (I think all of them??!! correct me if I'm wrong) only allow you to have so many free transactions per month & charge you for having an account..

I'll use this account for any wages I'll be earning when away (errgh, the dreaded w**k word, yuck!!), but I thought I'd just leave the rest floating between accounts. Some will still be in my ISA earning interest too....

What sort of job are you getting? :eek: :eek: :eek: :rotfl:

Thriftylady

I've spent £125 insuring my car......its freezing cold and pouring with rain, and the combination of the all three of these is making me want to cry....

zombiecazz

£60 to get windscreen replace, 88p to send an amazon marketplace book, 79p on 4 reduced peppers, £1 to send of for my phone cashback recorded delivery.

Therefore more than I wanted to!!
