Travelex cash passport

(I also posted in the Spain forum, but we stop at 3 Italian ports.)

 

Anyone have any experience using the Travelex cash passport prepaid currency card? The chip and pin version is a Mastercard. Is Mastercard as widely accepted as Visa? It seems like a safe way to travel overseas since it's not linked to a bank or credit card. I would prefer to leave my personal cc in ship safe.

I just answered your question on the Spain board.

Travelex gives the worst exchange rates I have ever seen!! Even my own bank,Wells Fargo gives better rates and has a loadable travel card you can get.

Check with your bank and shop around before using Travelex.
