    I'll be using the fairfx AND caxtonfx for my travels.

    the fairfx for hostel payments as it has better exchange rate,
    and the caxton for atm use and smaller purchases.

    good idea?

    Switch to Travelex Global Cash Passport if you must have a pre-pay card.

    Alternatively, Halifax Clarity works well for most people and has reasonable interest charges vs. others FX fees, even with a 19.9%APR. (Usual is 12.9%)

    We've just recently returned from Oz(4 wks away),using the Clarity Card(paid the amount off as soon as i could),i've paid just over £2.00 interest,having spent over 2 and a half grand.
