Travel money!
« on: 08 December 2012, 22:23 »
Off to oz in feb for 3 and a half weeks!!

Iv got £2300 to take! But do I ,

Exchange cash,
Prepaid card,
Find a credit card over here?? And pay off the balance?

I'm staying with family over there! So it's not like the cash will be in a safe in a hotel etc!!

I spend money like its going out of fashion on a card! But I like to save my cash!! Hahahaha!!


Any help appreciated  :cool:

if you use a card then your going at banks exhange rate which means youll end up losing out.
