Bought £500 worth of Euros
Unable to add money to card. Support suggested I visit a shop. The whole idea of travel money and ease of use completely overlooked.
Useless!

Been away for 4 days and on 4 occasions it has either accepted my PIN then cancelled transaction or rejected the PIN altogether, so I then try an ATM or login and it's ok.
Customer services team fobbed me off

App is useless. Used fine for 2 previous trips. Topped up fine for the first time in Portugal, but now won't let me !!! Keeps showing error message at various stages, kicks me off app !! I've tried re-setting password, and now using passcode instead.....makes no difference !! Use something else instead for money abroad. I shall visit local branch on my return and complain !!

Found the app infuriating to use. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t and takes a long time to update balance. It’s now telling me I don’t have a connection, when I absolutely do!! Have used Hays cards for many years but won’t ever again.

Have used my Hays card in New York, Greece, Australia & New Zealand and couldn't fault it! Used it in restaurants, bars, train stations, on a ferry and in shops! Would highly recommend.

Found the card to be a great way of paying for goods. Accepted everywhere we purchased items, only spend money you have purchased on the card, so if card is lost the worst case is you only lose money left on the card balance.
Easy to add funds & make changes through the app. Great addition to taking currency.

Holiday great and Hays superb
BUT Hays travel money card absolutely useless- DO NOT USE
Actual use of the card was fine BUT
I could not get the app to work and could not access what I spent on line.
So I had to note all I spent and add it up myself and trust my maths that I still
had enough money on it. Luckily I had taken other cards with me.
Tried to contact them and no joy. Useless card.

Put initial amount on card. Not used yet, but app keeps logging me out saying no recent activity. Also keeps asking to change password. Not very satisfied.

Shocking card, unable to add money from GB to Euros. Would definitely not use this again. It also keeps throwing me out.
