Pre-paid cash card - HELP!

NishNish

Hi, hope you're all well.

(I've just posted this in another part of this forum but thought it might be better here.)

I'm going backpacking to China, SE Asia and Australasia in a few months and want to take a pre-paid card with me.

I was originally going to go with the STA cashcard but after reading some horrendous reviews on it, I'm going to give that a miss.

I've seen two cards (mentioned below) but I hadn't heard of them until today so can someone please give me some much-needed help and advice on these cards as well as any others you think would be suitable. I'm so confused on the whole matter and my head hurts from reading review after review.

Thanks!

I've heard of Caxton FX, and a friend of mine used it in NYC without any issues when we were there. I've also heard of the FairFX card, as I have one myself.

The travelex is one I've heard of, but the rates and fees etc, are better on the two that I've listed, never heard of the kalixa.com though

Your statement is quite wrong.

The Travelex Cash Passport Globe is the best value.
