Where do I begin. I researched the card it seemed the cheapest option plus seemed pretty secure. Went into the post office Girl was great explained the 750 limit and that all it took was to register this was all pretty simple. A few days before I set off on my travels I decided to register it online.It didn't work.. I even called them because it said the card was locked and was worried as I was setting off on my holiday the next day. The person on the phone was very nice and explained that it should work on internet. And that logging in wrongly online didn't actually lock the full card just online. I couldn't check my balance online or at an atm machine so I had guess a lot of the time. I was getting more money put in while I was there this was also simple. For the US card they charge 2.50 dollar per transaction doesn't matter if its 1 dollar or 1000 dollars so make sure it's worth your money that you are not spending 1 dollar and getting charged 2.50 dollar. I was able to call a few times and check my balance which was fine no problems. I think twice i was there my card for some reason or another didn't work which was kind of annoying because I didn't have cash on me. At the airport on my way home I misplaced my card very upsetting of course this was my own fault called the post office as soon as i got home and they were nice my only issue is i applied for a new card 2 weeks ago and still waiting. I have 500 dollars on this card. And I am sure as you all know you really need some extra cash when you have just come home from holiday.
