Do travel money cards expire?
Do travel money cards expire? Expiration dates can be found on your TMC; all cards are valid for up to 3 years.
Can you use a travel money card like a debit card?
Prepaid travel cards work just like all Mastercard Prepaid Cards, which means you can spend up to the value placed on the card anywhere Debit Mastercard is accepted. You might want to check your card balance before you shop since the merchant or service provider may not be able to retrieve this information for you.
Is it better to get a travel money card or cash?
While credit cards are easy to carry and more secure than cash, you should always have some local cash on you when traveling. It's just good sense. Besides the fact that some local shops and vendors won't accept credit cards, having some cash provides a safety net in case your bank shuts off your card for any reason.
