Daaave Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Proper thinly veiled brag thread this. You seem a smart guy, sure you could've done your own research on this one But just so I can't be accused of adding nothing to thread, whatever you do don't use your debit card. Some credit cards are pretty good abroad so if you have one already I'd look into what loading fees and overseas withdrawal charges would be applicable. If you don't have a credit card or it's not good for using overseas, a prepaid card is almost certainly preferable to carrying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 On the topic of a pre-paid card... it looks good, rates are good...etc but I can only go up to 2000/2500 at a time.. does anyone know how long it takes to clear if I want to top up?

Wolfie20 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I've looked online and it seems that I'm being screwed from every which way till Sunday. Basically, I'm going Vegas in a couple of weeks and need to swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 For cash, I've always found the best rate to be Travelex but make sure you order online and collect at the airport. Do not ever exchange cash at the airport. Horrible rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralRam Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 When I go abroad I have a Halifax Clarity credit card - it has no charges to use abroad and you get better rates than the currency places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 http://www.halifax.co.uk/creditcards/low-rate-no-fee/clarity-card/ Best way by far and you should have enough time to apply. Load the cash onto it and away you go. I find that exchanging in country you get the better rates, however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Cheers guys, I think I'll look at the Clarity Card - I had a look prior to writing on here and it was definitely the best by some way, but would only let me have a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
