laurenl173 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi, I have family from the UK visiting over the Xmas period. What are the best options for taking over travel money? Should they put it on a travel card or take over dollars? Thanks, Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraighttothePoint Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 For security, and easy of use reasons, I would say travel card. A few dollars in the wallet would not go a miss but we have just had folk staying and they used their card everyone they went here with no issues at all. Any airport change overs are covered as well as the card can be used there but our folk put 50 quid in English bank notes in their wallet and used those in Dubai when buying a drink or two on both journeys. (Paid in English and got a bit of local currency in change on each occasion which they just left as tips.) Then when they got back to Scotland they did not even bother to cash in the travel card and used what was left on it at the local Sainsbry's. It is 2013 after all - traveller cheques and currency are so 1990's:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 You'll get the best rate from Travel FX, I used them for coming over and got my dollars within 2 days, much better rate that post office or moneycorp etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
