Very Urgent - Prepaid Currency Card Special Delivery

Hi,

Can anyone please urgently advise.

I need a pre-paid dollar currency card (internet only purchase) that has guaranteed delivery by Friday before 13:00 (Needs to be able to load £2500 in dollars)

I've googled and it comes up with company names I've never heard of before. The ones I have (Post Office / Thomas Cook etc.) all take a week to ten days to deliver.

Can anyone provide a recommendation for a card that might do what we need it to do?

Thanks for any advice offered.

    Are you able to get in to a Thomas Cook and pick up a cash passport? These can then be loaded online. I'll be surprised if you can find an online company to deliver by Friday.

    unfortunately not, can only pay for it by card on-line (corporate credit card)

    Thanks for thoughts though

    Thank goodness...because they are RUBBISH,

    Can you pick it up from the airport? From which airport?
  • I think you have left it too late but Caxton are good.
    Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!

    If the airport idea is convenient, then the Travelex Cash Passport Globe will give you the best overall rate, whilst if you need the card specifically in US$ you can get their Cash Passport Currency Card. It will cost you £1620.20 for US$2500.

    Will be ready for pick up at the airport soon after your order. Same day is possible. Four hours minimun.
