Fair Fx Card Gran Canaria?

I have the fair fx euro card. I got it for free when they gave you it if you loaded on ten pounds.


I am going to gran canaria in a few weeks and I had planned to load all my money for spending onto this card and get a small ammount from the travel exchange before i go.


Is this a reliable way to travel beacuse some people have pointed out if I lose the card I will have no money so I plan to take other cards as well just incase but I suppose if i lose the money I won't have anything


Am a bit worried as to what to do I don't like taking large ammounts of cash.

    I wouldn't have no problems going over there with my money loaded onto a card.

    I think that you have to understand to treat everything whilst you are on holiday as you would do at home. Keep everything locked up in a safe and only take what you need.

    Which part of the island are you going to be staying?

    Ahh, if you were going to Puerto Rico there is an internet cafe called Amijo's. They always have excellent exchange rates.

    Enjoy:beer:
