Tuxedo Pre-paid Mastercard (Cyprus)

pauldigital

HI!
Booked a holiday for october to Cyprus which will be my first holiday abroad for years - so excited.

I have a Tuxedo prepaid mastercard which i am saving money onto for ospending money (it is my only card option as I can't get a normal bank card because of credit problems).

The charges aren't too bad if I withdraw cash daily rather than use it willy nilly for every purchase and i prefer using that than taking cash or travellers cheques as it's safer.

My main question is - does anyone anyone else use one of these cards (especially abroad) and is it strightforward using atms abroad? (particularly Cyprus). Will the card be accepted OK in foreign atm?

Any advice or tales of your experiences would be very much appreciated.

Best regards, PAUL

Hi Paul, I use my cards in southern Cyprus all the time (parents live there) atm's are just the same as UK and display in english. Provided you have credit loaded and the 'master card' symbol there's no reason why you can't use this card without problems. Follow the same rules as in the UK, don't use machines inside of shops just the one's at the banks (and there are loads) If you're going to the north I couldn't comment. Have a great time.
