According to a recent poll by TNS and Travel Weekly, many UK families see taking a holiday in 2011 as a luxury and are considering staycations rather than overseas travel as a way to keep costs down.
For those keen to make their holiday budgets stretch further in 2011, the Post Office is providing some travel credit card spending tips. Firstly, before heading away, UK holidaymakers are advised to shop around to find a good travel credit card deal to help their cash stretch further. Many travel credit cards can charge customers fees when making purchases overseas. Furthermore, some providers also charge travellers for purchasing foreign currency on their travel credit cards. Research from the Post Office has discovered that some 42 per cent of UK travellers are unaware how much their travel credit cards can cost them.
The Post Office’s travel credit card offers zero per cent commission on foreign purchases, as well as no cash advance fee when purchasing foreign currency from the Post Office (either online or in branch). The travel credit card also offers zero per cent on balance transfers for the first 12 months and zero per cent on new purchases for the first three months.
