Some advice if you ever get a card sent to you in foreign currency:
  1. Contact One4All and ask them to send the value to your UK bank account.
  2. Chase UK said they couldn't accept foreign currency deposits!
  3. The card's probably a gift and purchased by the sender recently, so ask for the transaction fee to be waived.
  4. Make sure to check the exchange rate used by One4All as they sent me £77.24 for a 100 euro card - when I complained that they didn't match the average rate - they apologised and upped it to £84.
