Travel light this Valentine’s Day with my Travel Cash
Last Valentine’s Day Cupid bestowed a staggering £4.9 billion price tag on romance, with figures revealing that loved-up couples spent an average of £550 on their better-halves.
Forget predictable roses and Champagne, this handsome sum could have bagged star-crossed lovers a romantic mini-break abroad, with 2 night getaways available on-line from just £250.
With 14th February fast approaching, those looking to whisk their Valentine away should make sure they pack all the essentials remembering to sort their currency in advance, so that once they arrive in the land of love, they are free to devote the weekend to their companion.
To ensure your hands are free for holding, take a prepaid currency card rather than wads of cash as it allows you to spend directly from the card or withdraw money when you want to. Splash out on champagne and truffles, wine and dine your sweetheart, or even buy a diamond using the my Travel Cash prepaid MasterCard.
my Travel Cash (mytravelcash.com) offers three prepaid MasterCard cards in Multi-Currency (Sterling), Euros and US Dollars and their Express Delivery option means you can still get yours in time.
Designed to be a cheap alternative to using normal credit or debit cards abroad, you can save up to £40 on exchange rates* without paying commission charges. The cards also benefit from Chip & PIN protection and no link to your bank account.
Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity for couples to get away for a short break to Europe. There are some great deals on weekend trips to Bruges, Paris, Rome, as well as Florence and Nice, and sorting travel money beforehand means couples can spend more time relaxing and enjoying themselves.
Myles Stephenson, CEO my Travel Cash, comments:
"my Travel Cash prepaid MasterCard cards offer a competitive exchange rate compared to purchasing currency in the airport or on the high street, allowing cardholders to save up to £40 on every £500 they change.
"Our research shows that one in five people take their UK debit or credit cards abroad, often incurring ATM, foreign exchange and transaction fees each time they use them. Not to mention the interest accrued on outstanding credit card balances and charges for going overdrawn. With my Travel Cash cards there are no fees on purchases made in the card’s currency and best of all there is no commission to pay when you buy your foreign currency.
“The cards work like a pay-as-you-go mobile phone, you load them with money before you travel and top them up when needed, meaning you only spend what you load allowing travellers to relax on holiday.”
Order your prepaid card and take advantage of the great exchange rates at mytravelcash.com. Then, simply take it with you when you go.
Order by Tuesday 8th February to get your card in time for your romantic weekend break. The Express Delivery option allows cards to be delivered in just 2 working days and is free for orders over £700.
