travel money for teenager travelling to US

janey_1971

My daughter is travelling to the USA with school. She has a Bank of Scotland debit card which I know is one of the cards from hell. I haven't had a good experience using prepaid cards in the past and their rates don't look much better. I don't really want her carrying a lot of cash. Any advice?

Nationwide FlexOne Debit card, not the Cash card.

No fees or forex charges

Thank you.

What about the best prepaid travel cards for under 18s?

Depends how trustworthy she is. I know you're not supposed to but you could always get a Clarity card in your name and let her steal it for the holiday.:eek:

Quite a while ago one of my colleagues did similar for his two children (aged 18 and 19) when they went to Australia for a year, he gave them each a credit card in his name for emergency use only.

The youngest had £7000 worth of emergencies and the eldest £5500!

3.8.
We will not issue the card under these terms and conditions to anyone under the age of 18 years old.

Ahh, I'm definitely not under 18
