Compared to changing money at the airport*
I know that I am getting a good deal on my foreign currency when I use the Currency Home Delivery Service. Although I don’t get the same benefits as the my Travel Cash cards, such as Chip & PIN security and a great exchange rate, I still get a better exchange rate than when I used to exchange my foreign currency at the airport and I don’t pay any commission
If my partner and I go away together, we easily spend more than £500 between us, so, having a free delivery option on orders over £500 helps us to save that little bit extra.
Plus, as my order is insured by Royal Mail, I have peace of mind that I am protected if anything happens.
I prefer taking cash with me when I travel, but at least I can get a free prepaid MasterCard® card with my Currency Home Delivery order if I want one. It is always useful to have a spare source of money in an emergency so I can use the card to withdraw cash at an ATM when I am abroad. I’m sure next time I go away I will put some money on it as a back up and get an even better exchange rate than I currently get on my Currency Home Delivery order.
Also, I didn’t realise that I can use the my Travel Cash card to avoid Ryanair booking fees, so I can book flights for my friends and save us all some more money!
Being able to choose a delivery date that suits me is great Having the option to arrange delivery for the next day, for a specific day over the next week or even for a Saturday makes it so much easier to ensure that someone is at home to sign for my order when it is delivered.
Thank goodness I can get my travel money sorted before I travel so that I have one less thing to worry about and one less thing to queue for! The fact that I get a better exchange rate is an added bonus!
