I obtained a Clarity card yesterday. I'm going to Oz for 4 wks in Dec,and was told i could put a couple of grand onto the card,so i'd be using "my" money 1st.

I phoned Santander to ask whether I could overpay on my credit card and then withdraw fee-free from ATMs overseas. The person I spoke to said I'd be money-laundering! I doubt that's true, but any ideas on how I get a more informed answer?

I personally would not have a Santander Card however if the money you put on it came from a linked Santander Account then the guy you spoke to must have just stepped of a 'Spaceship' :mad: as he is clearly not from this planet!

If you have a Reward Account with Halifax then I doubt if you would hear a word about it.

According to the guy in Halifax it does work. Halifax don't like doing it but cannot stop it.
Also on the question of FX Cards there is an application fee of £9.95 so that needs to be considered as well!

Plenty of places to get Fx for free search these forums
