Thanks for feedback.
I applied using link in Rob’s recent article in advance of my trip to Australia’s Sunshine Coast next month and process was smooth and efficient.
It’s all just sitting there waiting to be used, and it feels a bit strange not arranging a bit of Forex ahead of an overseas trip.
I know what you mean! I did use it a couple of times in the UK first to make sure there was none of that “use it with a pin first to activate it” (there wasn’t), but after that it was just Currensea for every transaction except hotel bills, which were Amex as needed spend, and Amex plat for car hire to include the insurance.
Have a great trip – my family have a house in Nerang so we used to go to that area a lot, but haven’t been for over a decade!
