How do you take your money?

[Bradleysmummy]

So far we've got $1100 on our fx card and we are getting another $2000 but I'm not sure wheter to get $1000 cash and $1000 cheques or less and put more on the fx card.....decisions decisions can someone please help me choose....

[showells]

we are taking $3000 (hopefully) on fairfx card, $600 tc's and $400 cash

I don't think you'd need $1000 in cash...i think we only take a couple of hundred $'s in cash and the rest in TC.....TC are exactly like cash - get the change in notes...

I wouldn't put everything on your Fairfx card (what if something happens to it or you loose it), i take a mixture of cash, tc's & fairfx

I have converted £300 into dollars cash which I shall use for incidentals. Absolutely everything else will be going on my flexible friend(s).

Taken your advice, got $500 cash, $1000 cheques and $1500 fair fx card.

Thank you

Have about $70 which was left from the last trip in May, this will keep us going for a few days with drinks etc.

The rest will go on the Nationwide credit card. Any extra cash we will get using our flexaccount card

Always been OK doing it this way but obviously not everyones cup of tea

I have converted £500 to dollars then everything else goes on the credit card which works for us. Just remember that you are only covered up to a certain amount for cash if it goes missing under the terms of your travel insurance. It might be something like £250-500. Always bear this in mind!!

I have put $1880 onto a fairfx card, in a couple of weeks im going to put some more on. Got some dollars left from last year and im going to change some euros which i found in my purse from holiday back in April x
I was going to take it all cash but didn't think it was a sensible idea x

[flikflak]

I dont take anything - I get it out of the ATM when I need it or put it on the C/card

I take our daily allowance ($200 per day) in TC's, $150 in cash for essentials on the first day and I pay for all the prezzies and big purchases with my Debit card! we also take our credit cards for emergencies!

We took $400 in cash, and the rest in TC. We had a bank 5 mins away at Champions Gate, so while we were getting ready in the morning DH would nip out and change them. We also had our Flexible Friends for emergancies

[Gummibears]

we are taking $1000 each (me and my bf) for food, petrol, parking at theme parks and maybe a little bit of shopping depending on how much we have left. Would that be enough for 2 weeks?

We have already got our theme park tickets and have the gold cover with Alamo. We both have cc but would like to use these as little as possible.
