MSE News: The new king of spending abroad -the free Travelex Supercard launches today

I am starting to feel disgruntled, and initially I was so positive about this concept! As @andyfromotley said with this level of issue at the beginning when no one is using the service what will happen should we have issues in the future?

I commented on google play for the android app as I couldn't register with my home address and they replied that their third party provider uses different criteria to ascertain identity... Yeah, outdated! I realised that they must be basing it off my last address so I put in my last address and hoped that I could amend the shipping address. Unfortunately I couldn't as it went through with no issue, and despite attempts to contact them on Twitter to which I get no response, I then get a generic answer by email which resolved nothing.

Sigh...

Thanks SuperHan.
My mistake - I misread it.
Still cannot buy fuel though. I presume there are issues with fraud at petrol stations?

I read it to mean you won't be able to use Pay at Pump rather than not buy fuel at all. I figured it had something to do with the online/offline status of the card as I know not all cards can be used fro Pay at Pump anyway...

I guess we will just have to wait and see!

It has printed rather than embossed numbers.
The card is almost certainly online.

With pre-paid hotels and car rentals, I usually give them my standard Amex as the authorisations usually drop off after a few days.
