Euro Exchange Help!

littlefacey

Hi all!

Im going to Disney Paris at the end of the month but i dont know what to do about spending money??!!

So i already have €50 in cash (thanks to my lovely work mates) but i dont know whether to exchange £100 - £200 up or get a travel card to pay with and withdraw from atms if needed?

My current card is a Natwest Debit Card (which according to this website is a card from hell!)
I heard that there is a card you can transfer money too but i wouldn't know where to start?!

Can anyone help? I dont understand all this exchange rate! :(:(:(:(:(:(

Thanks in advance

Cards from hell are generally 3% or so worse than the best ones. So on £200, that's £6 ish.

Likely to be more, quite a lot more if frequent small transactions are made. Natwest debit charges 2.75% (min £1) on purchases, and that plus 2% (min £2, max £5) on ATM withdrawals. Avoidable...

Ah, but the banks really really need the money. And NatWest belongs to all of us. If you can afford to go on holiday then surely you can spare a few pounds to help a struggling bank...
