I put £750 in to a travel card in NZ$. As a result of Coronavirus the trip was cancelled. I transferred the money into Sterling to find there was now £700 left. I then went to an ATM to take cash out but was warned about charges. I went to the post office and they also wanted to charge me. This product is supposed to make it easy to use currency abroad. In fact this product makes it easy for organisations to hold your money to ransom, including the erstwhile trustworthy Post Office. AVOID AVOID AVOID!

Was sent 50 Euros as a present and went to post office to exchange it for pounds. Was given £37.04.
Checked the exchange rate when I got home and found it was worth £42.60. Absolute rip off!
Advice - avoid the post office for exchange.

Bought a travel card from the post office without much thought of exchange rates just assumed they would be fair. Realised that lower than everywhere else to exchange into euro's, additionally to exchange back to pounds again a much lower rate. Didn't expect the post office to try ripping me off so much. Will exchange, ditch and not return in future.

The rate offered today to top up is 1.14 . If you go for a new card application it is 1.17. This is is bit of a racket. Nowhere else today can I find exchange rate of 1.14. The Post Office itself is offering 1.17 ....except when you top up your card its 1.14. This card will be ditched pronto . YOU ARE BEING ROBBED.

Trying to top up my card abroad- says Service unavailable.
The worst thing is having to rely on something that is unreliable- would have brought cash with me for 4 day trip. No apologies- no refunds for excess charges

I bought this to buy petrol in France. Each time the card was declined - once on the motorway and the other time at a supermarket. Apparently this was because the pumps are offline and I would have been able to pay at the kiosk. Neither option was available - and in any case by that time I had filled up and had said I would pay at the pump. Waste of time and effort getting this card.

Currently in N.Z. and need to top up money on my card, app not working, so tried web site. Message simply says isn’t working try again later. Thanks a lot, if this service cannot be made reliable then it shouldn’t be offered!! Avoid.

Unreliable app, just stops working and won’t load up, means you can’t check balance on card. Tried to reload app and now keeps telling me they have emailed a verification code, but there is no email. Avoid using this post office travel money card, awful service that simply can’t be relied upon.

Very unreliable app, doesn’t load so you can’t check your balance ..
I definitely don’t recommend using this card.
