Hi again, can you tell its getting close to my jollies, 2nd thread today..
I'll be staying in Costa Del Silencio does anyone know where the local Deutsche ATM's are??
I don't bank with them but they are part of Barclays alliance so cash withdrawals are charged at bank exchange rate less 2.99% rather than tourist exchange rate and there are no handling fees / atm charges.
How do you take your money abroad?
I'm too close to leaving to change cards etc so i'll have to stick with what I've got.
I have debit cards with barclays and a barclaycard, both charge 2.99% for cash at bank rate, barclaycard alsocharge 2.99% on purchases.
I have a Thomas Cook cash passport which I get charged at tourist ex rate here to load up with euros and charged £2 every time I use an ATM but purchases have no fee.
Then I suppose there is travellers cheques and cash..
Whats best?
What would be a ball park figure for spending money for a family of four for two weeks?
We are self catering, we've bought our siam and loro tickets but no doubt we will be doing a boat trip to see the dolphins / whales the rest will just be food and drink..
TIA
Andy
