The "Cash passport??"

Where can I use the card?
You can use your card at ATMs worldwide displaying either the Visa or Plus logo or MasterCard® Acceptance Mark (depending on which type of Cash Passport you have). There are over 1 million Visa and 2 million MasterCard ATMs worldwide that you can withdraw local currency from. To check on their location visit the ATM locator. Alternatively, you can use the card to pay directly for goods or services at any retailers that accept Visa or MasterCard (depending on which type of Cash Passport you have).

No matter which currency you purchase the card can still be used worldwide. For example if you purchased a Euro Thomas Cook Cash Passport you can still use it at ATMs in America, but the balance in Euros will attract a currency conversion from Euros to US Dollars.

Please note: There are a number of countries where the use of Cash Passport is not allowed as they are subject to US economic sanctions. If you attempt to use your card in any of these countries, your request will be declined and the reason given as 'Decline, prohibited country'.

The countries currently affected by sanctions are:

Cuba, Iran, Myanmar (Burma), Sudan and Syria

When we went last year, we took cash and kept it in the hotel safe and just took out a little at a time when required.
