UK appetite for holidays undiminished

Latest research from the Post Office has found that the UK’s appetite for travel is still going strong, with 84 per cent of people planning trips away in the next 12 months. However, with finances still front of mind for many UK holidaymakers, Post Office Credit Cards is advising travellers how they can best avoid fees imposed by some travel credit card providers when using their travel credit cards overseas.

Many high street banks charge commission fees on customers using their travel credit cards abroad so Post Office Credit Cards advises travellers to shop around prior to departure for the best deals on both foreign currency and travel credit cards, to ensure they have peace of mind that they won’t incur hefty bills if they need to use their travel credit cards while abroad.

The Post Office travel credit card offers many advantages for travellers including 0% commission on purchases overseas and no cash advance fee when purchasing Post Office travel money with its travel credit card.

Although it is always advisable to take enough foreign currency on holiday to cover basic costs, many travellers value the flexibility a travel credit card offers, particularly if they encounter unexpected costs while abroad.

The Post Office’s travel credit card, for example, removes many of the hidden fees and charges that some high street banks impose making its travel credit cards a more cost effective holiday option.
