Fairfx Rates Improving!

[jackieleanne]

You can actually check via your mobile.

I often do that lol. You text 'Fair bal (last 4 digits of your card)' to 60040

You can also top up on that number my texting 'Fair 20 USD (for eg)'

Thats great to know thanks.

Thanks for the info, madmumof2

I have another question, if anyone knows the answer...

Can I pay for something online that is charged in £s, using the card? I need to book a one-way hire car for when we get back home and National car rental does a great rate on these - but they don't accept my Visa Electron card.

Should it be okay to use my fairfx card to book it?

Don't know for sure but I can't see it being a problem as I know you can withdraw here in the uk.

you can use it to pay for something in £ it will just convert it

I already have our Trvlrs Chqs, but like what I'm hearing about the FairFX card.

My question is.... is it possible to credit $ travellers chqs onto a FairFX card?

I don't think so jopaly. You can only top up via direct bank transfer or Debit/Credit card online or via a mobile. They make their money through the exchange markets (£->$ for example) so a $->$ transaction has no benefit to them.

I don't think they would be able to cash your travellers cheques either, if you posted them to fairfx

We will be taking a large bottle of vodka onboard, we both drink vodka and diet coke and have $300 onboard credit for cocktails

Hmmm, good idea Wayne if that suits you but I would much rather sit at the bar and order a cocktail

Only have 1 cocktail a day with eve meal. Then a vodka & coke before bed. Never enjoyed bars or pubs, Ok if a group of us but just us 2 prefer to goto watch the shows and quite early to bed, I am a morning person. Schooner bar on RCCL was quite nice with pianist/singer.
