Turkey - Advice on Cashcard

CSX

Hi,

I shall be going to Turkey in the next couple of weeks and trying to find the best way to take money. I don't want to carry loads on me and don't fancy converting when I'm over there as I will be carrying money with me at all times. I want to have some cash and some on Cash card...

I'm going to be collecting some money at the airport using the best rate from Travelmoney @ moneysavingexpert.

However, I want to put some on a Cash card...

I'm looking at the FairFX Anywhere card and the Thomas Cook Passport...

From what I can tell the Thomas Cook one offers free transactions on shops and restaurants where as the FairFX one doesn't... please correct me if I'm wrong

Is there any reason why I shouldn't get the Thomas Cook passport? are the rates much worse then the FairFX?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Travelex Cash Passport Globe. Note the difference.

Care to explain the difference? thanks

Actually it's the Travelex Cash Passport Globe. Have a read. Thomas Cook just rebrands some Travelex products. I don't ever use Thomas Cook.

I was looking at that card along with the FairFX to begin with, I'd rather not go with Thomas Cook! Would you recommend this card? seems a much better deal! Thanks

Yes, I recommend the one to which I have linked as the best.
