    so the best card is either the caxton or the travelex globe card,are the two cards the same if not what is the difference,as i can't make head nor tail of them

    cheers

    It's certainly not a terrible mistake. May be 8 euros in it, all things being equal.

    Yes, it's not worth getting too stressed about it. In the grand scheme of things it's the price of a beer and sandwich over the whole holiday.

    Keeping it simple as it's been explained many times before.

    right so i understand when you transfer money onto the travelex cash passport globe it stays as sterling until you withdraw it,and you get the going rate on the day you withdraw it?

    cheers

    well used the travelex passport globe on holiday,just hope i used it right,when i withdrew money from an ATM it asked if i wanted to withdraw it with or without conversion,i always withdrew without conversion so hopefully this was the cheapest way.the only complaint i have about the card is even though i could access my account abroad via the internet,it would only give me a balance,there was no transaction history so i didn't know if i was incurring any charges,the only transaction history shown was when i first loaded my card

    There should be a 1.49% fee next to each transaction. Are you suggesting that they don't list transactions via the My Account section?
