    So FairFX is the best card, been put off with neteller card after reading prev comms.
    What's TCB and how do you get the £7.50?

    Topcashback

    Join this site (free) and apply for the card by searching for FairFX in their "search for merchant" box at top of the screen.

    I was advised never to allow tracking cookies on my computer. Something about third party sites monitoring web activity.

    You can enable them, do the order, then clear and disable.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.

    You can just restrict how 3 rd party cookies are used.
    Also if you download free a program called "cookie monster", this allows you to select which cookies you want to keep and those you don`t.

    Thanks for the advice about cookies, still not sure that I want to risk anything after the trouble I had previously when I inadvertently did something to my security settings. Would rather pay an additional 0.5% to be on the safe side.

    Is almost impossible to use your computer without having cookies enabled.

    Used sensibly you will come to no harm.

    When I signed up for Neteller with a friend's referral I also got 10% of my initial deposit in cashback, so depositing EUR80 I got EUR88. So, EUR8 for signign up is not bad. Moreover, my friend who referred me got double of that, i.e. 20% of my first deposit = EUR 16. I found it very generous.

    Does Fairfx have a Virtual card do, like Neteller does?

    I am outside the UK, living in the EURO zone. Do you know if I can get the FairFx card in Europe, load it with EUR and spend it in EUR.

    The 1.5% transaction fee on everything is rather expansive, which puts me off. I am still leaning towards Neteller, because there everything is free.

    FairFX do a Euro card and there's no 1.5% fee on it either (that's only on the GBP anywhere card as far as I know)...but you have to have a UK address and if paying by card have to use the address the card is registered to.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    I went with the FX card in the end, I only want to use it for Ryan air flights, if that saves me a bit of money-all the better.
    I think I got the anywhere card and topped £100 on to it. The card was free though as apparently there is a promotion on through money supermarket (even though I didn't link it off moneysupermarket website?!)
