Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 2,939 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the travel card for making payments abroad extremely simple and convenient, allowing people to avoid carrying heavy amounts of physical cash while exploring different destinations. Consumers also note that adding funds and checking account balances directly through the mobile application is always straightforward and fast.

Post Office Travel Card a must.

Post Office Travel Card was great when i was on holiday in Spain, I felt it was safer than carrying cash around with me. I used the app to check on my purchases, balance and could top up at any time. I used it in shops, restaurants and paying for ferry tickets, and also at my hotel for food and drinks. Also card has a long expiry date, so i can use it again maybe next year if I go away again. Definitely recommend post office travel card and the app.

Sadly it has been a problem for us.

I got this card for a family member. Had issues with it in Europe and wanted to sort out getting it reactivated. That didn’t work well! Then the card was stolen/lost and I contacted Customer Services to get a new one. I have not received it, nor heard anything from them. The problem seems to be that I set it up but it was for someone else to use abroad. They can’t access the App only I can. I am now left with the problem and the Euros on the card which I won’t be using as the family member is already abroad. I wanted to send them the card but have not received it yet, after a good 2 weeks!
I wouldn’t bother in the future, there seems to be much easier to use companies out there. However I’m not sure what their customer care is like when a problem arises!
Just to add to the reply I received:
When I applied for the Post Office Travel card in one of your Post Offices your member of staff told me that I could get the card for a member of my family to use abroad. They went ahead processing it and helping me do it!
Please inform you staff what you wrote in your review, thank you.

Useless card

Useless card - I preloaded it with 60 euros before travelling to Italy and then tried it in a restaurant but it didn't work. Then tried it in an atm but that didn't work either. Stick to your usual credit card (Halifax in ny case)
