"Pre-Paid Credit Cards"

I use FairFX, always have... Get good rates, and website and app is easy access..
Used in Walmart ATM, you only pay $2 fee to FairFX, no ATM charge....

Lots of emerging challenger banks with good options.
I'm a supercard holder, now available to anyone, and I've also just signed up to Revolut. That'll be worth trying I think. Load it with £, convert to currency of your choice, use the card, simple as that.

Ive used Revolut for my last two holidays in the US, first time in February where it was alittle temperamental and sometimes wouldnt process payment however it always worked at cash machines. The most recent trip to Vegas in June it worked perfectly every time. Very easy and simple to use

Any one know out of interest when the new Mlife offers will be out?

Hey Bobby ,

The staff were actually really good in both classes , is actually look happy to be there lol unlike some airlines I could mention !!


I'm a dress size 16 so by no means small,and I had plenty of "wiggle room" width wise .


When I travelled to California I was in the back on the way out for the day flight and I flew back in premium for the night flight as I never sleep well on planes , but I've seen premium sometimes as low as an extra £100 on top of the economy fare .


I usually unfortunately am in the back but I def would use it for a night flight , I would def say it's better than premium econ on BA .

As I travel a lot I have a Halifax clarity credit card, apparently it's the only one that doesn't charge fees for using overseas , I've had it for ages I use it for all my overseas trips and just pay it off after the trip .

we would try Norwegian if they expanded their service to additional days - it is interesting, but not on the days they fly, not for us.

Assuming the purchase rate goes over £1 : $1.3 today, anyone else considering getting their $s?

I am optimistic the Bank of England will keep interest rates the same today and the pound will jump a bit more. Will gamble on that and get some later

Not too sure, but it will come. If it is not Thursday, then next month or the month after. At this point the £ will take another dip. New cabinet could be announced today, so another variable.


When we went in May we received £1 : $1.4. With that mindset, and the fact I am looking to change £1k, we would only be $100 down. Clearly a negative, but not enough to ruin our holiday.
