I find the USA dollar Cashcard extremely useful and convenient . The app gives a real time update of spending and there is no currency exchange commision charge to each transaction as there would be with most credit cards. I have never had the card declined.

PO travel card makes travel easier.

The instructions to enable the use of the card were straightforward. The refer a friend scheme gave me a bonus to start. The card was readily accepted on my continent holiday.

Makes a change from Travellers Cheques!

Last travelled when Travellers Cheques were the default to take funds (not cash) abroad, so thought this currency agnostic Travel Money card was superb. Great that the app lets you see transactions and balance anywhere and now I’m home I can continue to buy purchases in the country I visited which won’t accept UK credit cards for payment.

Two failed attempts when using card abroad…

After one holiday when the card didn't work due to lack of instructions re the removal of the label over the chip I tried again the following year. This time it did not recognise the pin number I had changed it to so was again unusable whilst away and I had to have a replacement card on return to redeem the cash in the UK. I can see no advantage with this over using my usual debit abroad which did not incur charges for normal card purchases

The Post Office Travel Card is…

The Post Office Travel Card is convenient and easy to use abroad, which is a definite plus. However, the exchange rates are significantly less competitive than the rates available elsewhere, meaning you get noticeably less for your British pounds.
For me, the convenience doesn’t outweigh the financial difference. I would definitely recommend shopping around and comparing exchange rates before using this card, as you may get considerably better value elsewhere.
Useful card, but not the best deal financially.

I top up my card prior to traveling

I top up my card prior to traveling. I wanted to top when I was away. I tried 3 times to do a top up through app and nothing happened. Yet top up with my local post office using the same debit card no problem. It's not useful if you can top up through app. That's defeat the purpose of having the card as back up.

Easy and secure way to carry foreign currency.

Uploaded euros onto this for a 6 week trip. Easy to upload as and when more funds were required. Used it to pay for everything whilst traveling, hotels on booking.com, restraints, supermarkets, bars etc. Positive experience all round. Only need to upload a few euros at a time which saves carrying around your main bank cards or lots of cash.

Newport St Bolton. Appalling customer service.

Newport St Bolton. ABSOLUTELY APPALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE. Went in to purchase currency. The staff were not only unhelpful but downright rude. The Post Office published rate did not resemble this branch's rate, and without raising any complaint regarding the exchange rate I was very rudely informed they can apply whatever rate they wish. I understand their right but the manner of first woman was unacceptable when I ask why she was being so rude she waved me away and told to me to que up at another counter. At the other counter Safira was better to deal with but refused to give me the name of previous woman but told me to go and check her badge. When I asked if there was a manager I could to speak to she said he was not in and dismissed my request! I gave up at this point as obviously they were not offering any service level what so ever. NOTE OF WARNING FOR ANYONE WANTING TO BUY CURRENCY HERE.
