Aye, Martin Lewis may be a tit IMHO, but he does run a very good honest and helpful website.

thanks again for the tips,just as a rider,I phoned the holiday firm yesterday to query something else and asked the question I should have asked in the first place.
They warned me not to take travellers cheques as more and more places will not cash them.
I'll go with some of the replies.
It's looking like I'll trouser £400 and use my card in a bank for the rest.Regards"History admires the wise,but it elevates the brave"

Seafarer, as I'm sure you already know, if you have something fairly expensive to buy it is worth using your MasterCard as the item will then be insured. This applies to your travel tickets etc, giving you another layer of protection if the travel firm messes up or the holiday is cancelled. Originally Posted by seafarer1939

Re: holiday cash?
Something that served me well when I lived in France for a year. Get a debit card account set up with Nationwide building society. It doesn't cost a thing to get and they should send you a debit card within a week. You can use that card abroad to make withdrawals at any cash point without any extra charges whatsoever. PLUS and this is a big plus..!! The rate you get for your foreign money is the business rate and not the tourist rate.. The business rate is consistently better than the tourist one! I think youre limited to around 300 Euros withdrawal per day but that should hopefully be enough!
