Recent years have seen a quiet revolution in the way we choose to pay for things, as more and more transactions happen by card instead of cash.
Debit and credit cards have grown in popularity because they offer a quicker and easier, not to mention safer, alternative to carrying a wad of cash in your wallet especially when you are on holiday
But the problem is that the convenience and speed of paying by card can often lead to people overspending before you realise it.
Cruise.co.uk are offering a new service to our customers which is a TUXEDO pre-paid credit card – all the big retailers offer these and are similar to the company credit cards that we all have – where money is loaded into an account and then used by the cards
Our Pre-paid card combines the convenience of a credit or debit card, but allows you to set your spending limit according to your budget, the idea is simple – you load the card with cash, and use it to withdraw cash or make purchases
It is available to everyone, regardless of credit rating, income, or whether or not you hold a UK bank account
The main advantages are
You are in control!
You set your spending limit, not the card provider. All you need to do is top up your card when you need to via text, phone, a Paypoint, the Post Office or via BACS transfer from your bank account.
Any unused currency remains on the card so you don’t end up with a few unspent coins and notes that you may never use
You will never get caught short and not have quite enough currency for that lovely piece of jewellery that you see on the last day of your trip
It takes care of the situation of multiple currencies for different countries that your cruise may call in to so it makes it a cheaper way to spend your money
No confusion over bank and credit card currency conversion charges, you won’t worry about exchange rates and charges and is more competitive than foreign exchange rates than high street retailers
It is safer than carrying all of your money in cash or travellers cheques
FREE overseas ATM withdrawals over £100+ equivalent
Charges
£2.25 charge for ATM abroad (Free if you take out £100)
£1.50 charge ATM in the UK
