Fair FX Travel Money Card

Currency cards are a smart choice for your holiday spending money. Its a top up card which you use like a normal credit card to pay over the counter or withdraw from cash machines.

The FairFx travel money card is a great way to budget for your holiday and take advantage of highstreet beating exchange rates on your Euro's.

We first reviewed the FairFX card in our post on getting more for your holiday spending money and, having used the card ourselves, have no hesitation promoting it here to Love Ibiza visitors.

Here's how the currency card works:

1. You choose how much money you want to spend on your holiday and deposit that money into your FairFX currency card account
2. They mail you the currency card- its just like a normal chip and pin mastercard
3. Activate the card and you're ready to use it anywhere that accepts mastercard or any cash point to draw out cash directly
4. You can check your balance online and if you run out of funds you can top it up

We like the idea of the card for a few reasons:

Control your spending: It gives you more control over your holiday spending than you'd have with your credit / debit card

Better rates: You should get a more competitive rate than you would using your UK credit or debit card in Europe

Low fees: Cash withdrawals cost £1, check with your issuer but many UK banks will charge about £3 per withdrawal

Safety & convenience: You don't have to carry your main cards around with you when you're out partying

SMS alerts: Get text messages telling you how much spending money you've got left...time to blag some free drinks!
