Do any of you use this card when on holiday instead of a normal credit card/debit card/travellers' cheques etc.? If so do you recommend it? :dontknow: :)

We have one of those. Not used it in Tenerife yet. Got it mainly for paying for tickets. Have saved £50 already!

I recommend it 100%, i used it for the first time last month. Its so easy to use and is safer and better than carrying cash around with you. Activating the card can be abit of a swine but its no hassle, plus it only costs 2 euros every deposit from the ATM. So as long as you withdraw larger amounts then your fine. Overall its a great way to use your money abroad and is alot safer. I will be using my card again next time. :D

I would recommend a Caxton fx euro card, load it with euros before your holiday and you can then withdraw from any ATM in Tenerife with no charges at all. Safe and easy.:)

I too have the Caxton FX card, it is brill no problems at all with it and it is transferable too, we used it in May and our Son used in June when he went with his friends. The good thing is we load it every so often with what we have spare and before you know it you have your spending money for your next holiday.

Moneybookers.com do a prepaid MasterCard no charges for loading or cc transactions but a cash withdrawal charge from ATMs at home (can't remember if there is in Tenerife). Worth checking out as it's good for avoiding ryanair charges.

I have just looked at the Which report on preloaded debit cards and the Caxtonfx card was rated to be the best there is with regards to costing, availability and ease of use.
