I love traveling with the family, especially abroad. One of my concerns, however, is carrying cash with me when I travel and running up my credit card with foreign exchange rates and fees.
If you’ve used your credit card while on vacation or business travel and then received your bill, shocked by the exchange rates and fees, you’re probably left wondering if you should have paid in local currency.
Well, now you don’t have to guess anymore. SellOffVacations Travel FX Card allows you to carry foreign currency on a plastic card while you travel.
Here are 6 reasons why you should use a SellOffVacations Travel FX Card with you the next time you travel:
6 Reasons Why You Should Use a Travel Card
Locked in rates
When you load foreign currency on a SellOffVacations Travel FX card, you won’t be surprised when the bill arrives, because you can lock in the exchange rate at time of purchase, and secure those funds on your own card. This means whatever you see on your bill at time of purchase is exactly what you spend – no extra fees or conversion costs.
The foreign currency you order loads immediately on the card, so you enjoy safe and convenient access to funds in the country or countries you are traveling to (only one currency is loaded on card at a time). Preloading the country’s currency also means you lock in the foreign exchange rate, so the only fees you pay are the initial charge for the card and exchange rate at the time of conversion (live rates), which protect the customer from fluctuations while spending abroad.
Easy to use
Load up to the equivalent of $3,000 CDN in US Dollars, Mexican Pesos, British Pounds and Euros on your SellOffVacations TravelFX Card, and then take it with you on your travels.
You can use the uploaded card at millions of locations worldwide, including online, over the phone, and at ATMs – wherever MasterCard is accepted.
Safety
I often worry about carrying cash with me when I travel, even though I use the hotel safe and wear a cross-body purse at all times. Using a preloaded card can give you peace of mind when travelling without having to carry cash around with you.
Stay on budget
There are benefits of having multiple payment options and using each for certain purchases. I prefer to keep small cash on hand for cab fares, small purchases and tipping, and my credit card for large purchases such as hotel and car rentals. Now I can use the SellOffVacations Travel FX card for at restaurants or shopping.
Convenient
You can log in online anywhere to check your balance, view recent transactions, and reload funds. The convenience of being reloadable should you require more funds while you are away is definitely a plus. You can also track your spending activity so you know if, and when to reload the card.
Secure
The Cards are not connected to your primary bank account, and they are protected with PIN and chip technology. You can spend money comfortably and securely while traveling with no links to your main bank account.
