Hi folks, I am currently in an IVA and have been lucky to be given a paid for holiday by my parents. I was wondering if i can use a pre paid currency card form a major travel agency to safely carry money? There is no credit being asked for but they may share my info with credit agencies!! Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks

There is absolutely no problem and lovely gift from your parents. Confirm with your own IP if you like and enjoy the holiday.

I'm going on holiday soon and found that it is worth shopping around, as exchange rates and charges vary.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the best card I found

BTW I think the only thing they use the credit reference agencies for is to verify your ID

Go for it and enjoy the sunshine .... prepaid cards are great when abroad you can't overspend!
