    Thatnks, but I wasn't asking what FairFX advertise - I was asking what you have.

    Can't find it on Quidco?
    Me neither - and nor on topcashback.
    can anyone help?

    You could try the opodo promotion - http://www.fairfx.com/opodo/home/ . This offers a pounds sterling Anywhere card free-of-charge (apart from initial top-up) and, unlike any other FairFX card I have seen advertised, free UK cash withdrawals:

    https://www.fairfx.com/opodo/termsandconditions
    Cash withdrawal fees

    Euro & Dollar cards
    • €1.5/$2 per ATM withdrawals in the UK and overseas
    Anywhere Card (Pounds Sterling)
    • FREE for withdrawals made in the UK and overseas
    But still it says it charges 1.5% for purchases, so if you want fee-free Ryanair purchases, you'll need instead something like the escape card.

    It's still on topcashback although the cashback has gone down to £5.

    Sadly, but not surprisingly, you are mistaken again.
    A 1.5% charge is made on all usage, ATM or point of sale, using the FairFX Anywhere Card, in the UK, on the internet, or abroad - Anywhere!. There is no additional ATM fee*

    In other words, there is a blanket 1.5% charge on all spending using the ANYWHERE card.

    Let's hope it finally sinks in now. :D

    At least you are slowly beginning to accept that yours is also a standard ANYWHERE card. :)

    Donnie, have you actually bothers to READ the fee table in the terms and conditions??? https://www.fairfx.com/opodo/termsandconditions

    Wrong again.

    You really need to learn to read and comprehend:
    The information contained in this table summarises key product features and is not intended to replace any terms and conditions

    Keep reading....
    1.5% transaction fees but no further ATM withdrawal fee with the FairFX Anywhere Card

    There are no ATM fees, just a blanket 1.5% charge on all usage. You'll get it eventually.

    Yes take the pound currency it removes the credit charge £5 e/w per passenger so my wife and I saved £18.50 as you are charged 1.5% per transaction so a good saving to be made. Also use it @ ATM to withdraw foreign currency whilst abroad again 1.5% per transaction so take all you need in one go it gives a good rate of exchange which you can check on their website.

    Go through Moneysupermarket to the FairFX site and get it free if you go straight to Fair FX their is a £10 charge to get the card.

    Cheers.

    Not quite right..... it's 1.5%, not £1.50. My latest Ryanair flight was £6. My ANYWHERE fee was £0.09p.

    I thought it was as simple as can be....

    Also available free via opodo, as indicated by chrisjj(at last a useful post). :)

    I did keep reading... and did not find that text anywhere in the T&Cs. Your quote is false.
