Bought travel money

Ordered local currency for Barbados. Ordered on Monday and told it would be a few days and we would be phoned. Not heard anything so went in Friday - going away next Thursday, nothing arrived. Telephone call Saturday afternoon to say they can’t get any! Very unreliable!

Bought £50 worth of Euros

Got my travel money card today, and it was a piece of cake with the help of Millie in the Spondon branch. Any worries were put at ease, so helpful in how to setup it up and knowing how I can use the card when aboard. I was really happy with the service provided.

Bought £1 worth of US dollars

This is the fourth time I have attempted to use the service in Asda Fareham, as it is the only place within a few miles that sells foreign currency. 3 pre ordered and today randomly.

Each and every time there has been a note to say just popped out, be back at a certain time and this is not usually between 12 & 2. It is usually just after 3pm for pre ordered. Today, I randomly popped in at 12.20 and once again, there was a note to say that the person has popped out and will be back at 12.50. Surely if their website displays opening times, a member of staff should be there to serve customers or they should display opening hours open and not actually on lunch or gone out etc…it’s not cheap to keep having to drive backwards and forwards, 6 miles to be precise to not be able to get the money ordered or even randomly. Asda, this needs sorting out!

Had to put in an amount that I supposedly purchased to leave review.

Bought travel money

Like Sue Williams says on her review I was charged a buy back fee without an explanation.

As a pensioner £2.99 Charge for nothing is better in my pocket.

I was so mad I went back the next day. The same girl said I always explain this Charge!

Not to me you didn't as we never return Euros.

I insisted on having the money back, which she finally agreed to.

Had a great experience in the Blackburn asda with the help of a lovely women Heena. Was a great help with everything as it was my first time exchanging money. Great customer service from her. Would definitely recommend to go to the Blackburn asda will be going again.

Ordered a currency card

What ever you do don’t get one of these Asda travel money cards. Ive waited over 4 days to get a response to an email regarding a problem registering my card. I’ve sent all information requested and yet I’m still waiting. I’m starting to panic as I’m getting low on cash. Dreadful customer service you try finding numbers from abroad. Trying that this doesn’t ruin holiday.

Sold 500 US dollars

I went to Asda exchange some US Dollars to pounds today just after 5pm. The gentleman who was serving did not seem to be professional at all. I gave him the dollars, he counted, asked for ID, gave him ID, then he looked into his till, and he said to me he does not have enough money to exchange. He could only exchange half of it. This is an exchange place and they did not have money. They need more professional people there. Disappointed. This guy was not fit for the job. Sorry.

Ordered a currency card

Fairly smooth so far. Got card at Asda store (in store at counter it was pre loaded with €500). When I got home I simply loaded app and logged in using same details I shared in store with holiday counter)

If you load with extra money make sure it’s in over £500 batches to avoid charges. Exchange rates are good - better than in store and similar to exchange rates daily (around 5% less than international rate - which is better than any UK in store purchase)

You can easily access on iPhone and check amount and transfer more from bank account if needed. In Europe it will work for most contactless payments and no charges because it’s euro for euro. Great for transactions in Europe and if other you can transfer ‘ switch currencies to preferred country.

Awful customer service and support!

You can’t actually speak to anyone on the phone. Poor Ap and not able to order a pin reminder …… Hardly a reliable way to mange money on holiday:(
