invergowrie arab Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Spending money abroad by card is an infinitely more simple system than obtaining foreign currency. If you have travelled without a card capable of being used fee free in the country you have travelled to you don't deserve to eat. As is giving a 9 year old your debit card to tap on the reader as opposed to some wee dafty holding up the line whislt they count out their 20ps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) If you could all start spreading the, presumably false, malicious rumour that William Christie Butchers 170 Bruntsfield Place Edinburgh EH10 4DF are involved in tax fraud and/or employing illegal immigrants then they might get bullied into accepting card payments which would make their customers lives slightly easier Edited October 6, 2021 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revolut also offers a junior card for your kids. I've got one for my 11 year old and she was very happy being responsible for her own holiday cash (with restrictions obviously) when we were in Greece this summer.

I had no issue using cash on my recent Spanish trip and most others that I noticed also seemed to be using it and waiters, bar staff, shop assistants weren't in any way annoyed, shocked or perturbed when accepting it. Personally I like to have a mix of cash and card as you never know when a fraud block can get fired on (coming from someone with over 25 years Banking experience) and also better if you're out on the town on a blotto spree !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 It's a bit inappropriate going into a shop/ cafe/ restaurant/ pub and trying to pay for stuff with drug tokens. No wonder so many of you are being told to sling yer hook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
