An Post PostFX™ prepaid MasterCard® currency card

First time poster to this forum so hope this is right! Traveling to the states in a few weeks (thanks to a flight deal I saw on bargain alerts!) and as you probably know the Post office seem to give the best overall value in dollars. But they are offering a new service which gives you a Dollar or Sterling prepaid…

. . .and gives a better rate. There are charges with Revolut if you intend using it primarily at atms. Right now 100 Euro buys 116 dollars via an Post but 120 via Revolut.

As another Revolut user I agree ditch An post cards and go with Revolut. Instant top up better rates and interface.

Not sure if this thread is still active but anyway, I got a PostFX card last year for a trip to the states. Heading back again at the end of next month but can't for the life of me find the cards I got last year. (I withdrew the remaining cash in them when got home last year). My question is, can I simply walk into the post office and set up another card as I can't find the ones I received last year?

Yes.
However, the rate is not the best.
Revolut is a better option gives $1.166
whereas AnPost gives $1.132

Revolut didn't exist back when the thread was started. these cards offered the best exchange rate back in 2013 so it _was_ a bargain.

A lot has happened in 5 years. So many different options now!
Plenty of info already in the Banking forum and more suited than here.
