Anybody tried Travelex Cash Passport Best Price Promise

Ok, I have decided I am getting a Travelex Cash Passport for my trip to Tenerife, I am going to pre-order it to collect from the airport as I wont have enough time for delivery.

I rang Travelex a few weeks ago asking if the price promise they offer is applicable to the cash card and was advised it was but I didn't ask anymore details.

T's and C's here : http://www.travelex.co.uk/uk/priceguarantee.aspx

Should I be comparing it like for like...ie another cashcard that I can collect such as ThomasCook or just any other euro rate.

Just wondered if anybody had any experience of this.


Thanks

    Consider the Cash Passport GLOBE instead. It's just better. :)

    But make sure that your bank does not charge for the initial top up.

    I have just done the math on this and I did initially dismiss it without having a proper look at the figures.......I bank with first Direct so I would have no charges for making the payment.

    So decision made........Travelex cash passport globe & a few euros.

    Yeah the Cash Passport Globe is much better than the Euro card. Good choice :)
