FairFX cards

Where can you NOT use these? Never had one before, so wondering if they're as universally accepted (in Florida) as their website suggests.

Thanks for any comments.....

The only place i wouldnt use it is at check in at a hotel as they sometimes place a hold on an amount

Ive had one for five years and used in disney, egypt, tenerife, here and mexico with o problems

It works on the MasterCard brand same as my Post Office credit card. MasterCard is widely accepted, I use mine (credit card) upto 10-12 times a day, never been refused anywhere.

I prefer a credit card myself, make sure you are aware of any fees involved https://www.fairfx.com/faq then click on charges.

Thanks.

Money Saving Expert has a link to get for free provided you load up $75.

Think I'll get one now with part of our required spending in case the exchange rate drops....

The only problem we have had is when we first tried using it - the card kept being refused, but we discovered that the transaction needs to go through as a credit card rather than a debit card. Also the case with some ATMs - as long as you remember this you should be ok.
