Top Card Review
The Rational Travel money Card takes the inconvenience out of converting dollars to the local currency when you travel. It is just like a debit card except easier to use and less expensive. There are a few small fees but no charge for using it in restaurants, hotels and shops or for adding to your balance. It is a much safer way to carry money with you when you travel abroad because if you lose it you won't be in a desperate situation. You can call a 24 hour number and they will send you a new one and the security of the chip and PIN make it difficult for anyone else to use. It guarantees the top exchange rate which will make your dollars go farther.
