Travelex Supercard

Thanks very much. I know it loads to my bank card but want sure if this was an option too.

Just received this weeks Martin email and he has now decided to do the visa vs MasterCard rate comparison! It begs the question why did he not do that before recommending this card! And exactly where did the figures on the spend comparison table come from?

He has now changed his tune and is recommending MasterCard!

So it looks like financial savvy beats martin!

I therefore wish to ask, so exactly how much did martin receive to promote a poor product, which if you have a dispute your only avenue of complaint is an authority in Gibraltar.

25000 of you are now trusting them with the ability to dip into your bank account! Seems a silly idea to me.

I doubt he had anything to do with MSE analysis on these two topics and I also doubt they're benefiting financially. Perhaps their name is a bit misleading, but they aren't specially trained experts. Many of them, particularly Martin, are very knowledgeable on financial matters but you'll find most of the advice they come up with can be found elsewhere pretty easily. These forums discovered Supercard well before MSE promoted it, and as others have posted, already did a basic analysis between Visa and Mastercard rates finding Mastercard to be better.

I personally think the main MSE website caters more for the masses - people who are interested in financial matters but not interested in doing much work or looking into them too deeply.

Has anyone received an actual card yet?

Yes, I received my card through the post today. I signed up a day before the MSE email.

Attempted to order Supercard and have noticed that after I had to give my mobile number (which I never do any other time) I have had at least seven missed calls - when I have checked on the web I have discovered these are numbers of cold calling companies - anyone else noticed this or is it a coincidence that I have received these after giving my number for the card?

Almost certainly or everyone who applied would be getting the calls.

Haven't received my card yet. Was hoping to get it before going to Germany next week.


Will update if and when I do! (Got the confirmation email about 8pm on the day of the MSE Email).


Haven't received any cold calls though

Had an email reminding me I haven't linked any credit or debit cards to my account. They tell me I have to add at least one card before I can use supercard, and that I can contact them through the app if I am having problems.

Well the app will only permit me to link a card, and as I haven't got the supercard in my grubby mits yet that aint going to happen

I've had the same email and, like you, haven't received my card yet.

Arse from elbow springs to mind.

I don't understand what the issue is - have they incorrectly used negatives in their post and you can't add a card in the app until you've received the physical card?
