Going on Holiday

kirkie_2

I am soon going on Holiday to Mexico and I'm in a dilemma on what to do about taking money. I don't know if I should take cash or Travellers Cheques.

I'm sure I saw a documentary where Martin was saying something about The Nationwide and that if you have one of there accounts you can take money out from anywhere in the world with no fee....

So what do people think?

Correct, I have a Nationwide Flex Account and a Nationwide Credit Card that I use for Holidays abroad and my seasonal business only. No commission charged on withdrawals or purchases, other lenders will charge you approx 2.5 - 2.75%

'The cheapest way to spend overseas: save 6% ' Martin's article. Link to all other articles - in the green bar above.

Yes, if you still have time it is worth applying for Nationwide current account (flexaccount) with debit card or cash card (at least). Maximum programm is to get their credit card too ...
