Best Currency Card after Brexit Pound Drop

Hi everyone,

Hoping you can advise me on the best option for organising currency for my travel trip.
I am due to travel Southeast Asia and Australia in October 2016 – June 2017.

Now there has been a huge drop in the pound, I am wondering what the best way is to take my money out abroad?

My worry is I will get fixed rate cash card whilst the pound is bad for it only to improve later down the line or get a flexi rate for it to get worse....is there a card that is flexible but will with a rate that is no worse than current rate from purchase?


I guess it will be hard to predict how the pound may move, but I just wanted to gather peoples opinions and advice as I really have no idea.

Would appreciate your help with this!

Thanks
