Damn, they figured me out [:#]

What a pain.
I had loaded mine a while ago ready for Florida in Nov.[:(!][:(!][:(!]

One alternative option is the Lloyds TSB Travel Money Card. What caught my attention is that it is a full VISA card and not just a VISA Electron, which a lot of the other pre-paid cards seem to be (e.g. Post Office), meaning it is usuable in a lot more retail outlets. However, I last used my Amex Travellers Cheque card last year so can't remember what the charges are and how they compare to the Lloyds card.

Travelex do a Visa one, too, I think.

I got onto them.
They will either wait untill October then up to 12 weeks later send you a cheque, or do what I did, which was to get my money transferred back into one of my bank accounts. they reckon 15 days and will reimburse at the rates you added at.

Have been busy so lost track of this thread but have found it again now, thanks for the info. I had been wondering at what rate they would pay you back so thanks for that much appreciated.
