in Credit cards
Hello,
I've got a virtual credit card, a Visa card from Tremendous, with US dollars on it.
Is there a way I can convert this currency into UK pounds so that I can spend it here?
Thanks.

You can buy something with USD, for example accomodation - hotels etc?
There is a website called Eneba where you can change currency and buy Giftcard for UK like Amazon, Tesco etc.0 -
A credit card with dollars on it sounds like a contradiction in terms. More likely to be a gift card or prepayment card.Their AI assistant says:-• Your card's balance is stored in USD and automatically converted to your local currency when you make a transaction.• Your card can be used in-store only if the merchant is able to manually enter your card information.0

Agree sounds line a "gift" card. Can you use it to buy something on-line? Amazon credit would be one option, just aim to max out the balance.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Credit Cards and Budgeting & Bank Accounts boards.

Yes, sorry, it is a gift card with pre-paid credit on it.0

You don't need to convert, it is done by the card (any card) when used to purchase in non-card currency.

The virtual card's website should show you the terms and conditions of use. Foreign country/currency use may be blocked even though it is a Visa/Mastercard.0
