Help with right Travel Card please

Hi all,


I'm new to the forum and was hoping someone more 'seasoned' would be able to point me in the right direction.


I am going on holiday to Las Vegas on the 16th April and would like to load up a travel card with dollars.


I have looked through Martins tips with regards to which card would be best for me but I still don't fully understand.


I would like a card that doesn't charge me for purchases on the card in the US and preferably one with little or no charges for ATM withdrawals.


The cards I have looked at with the above qualities seem to have rates of huge differences. Please could someone advise me on the best card in their opinion. I'm going crazy trying to work out which one will be best.


Oh and one final thing, the card needs to be with me before I leave for the airport on evening of the 15th.


Thank you in advance

    Monzo is possibly your best bet.

    I've got a Monzo card which I find to be very good, however, it has limitations when it comes to atm withdrawals.

    You can use an atm only 4 times a month and withdraw a maximum of £1000 equivalent. The card is denominated in £ so you are subject to the exchange rate at the time of the purchase.

    Take a look at their user forum and search for ATM withdrawals or something similar for more information.

    Is that a new thing? I used my Monzo card in an ATM far more than 4 times in a month in Feb
