operator Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Ordered £500 worth of Thai baht cash from the Travelex website Sunday night using my Lloyds TSB debit card to be picked up Wednesday evening from Heathrow Terminal 3 before my flight to Bangkok. Something i've done many times before. Last time was in February. All went ok just just awaiting payment confirmation from Lloyds TSB. Monday afernoon gets a email from Travelex, payment from Lloyds TSB refused. Phoned Travelex thinking i'd made a mistake entering my start end dates etc. No such luck, it seems Lloyds TSB have changed their system. If your getting foreign currency in CASH then it's treated as a cash point withdrawl, ie my daily cash point limit is £200 a day so i could only get £200 worth of cash in foreign currency. What a complete joke this is. Phoned LLoyds who who weren't very helpful. Well they were willing to be very helpful if i ordered the currency from them. I believe traveler cheques should be ok, just if you want cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boater Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 it is due to fraud, why pay for a 1000 USD HIFI and sell for 200 USD on the second hand market, when you can pay for 1000 USD in currency and collect 1000 USD in currency.... enough said ( sorry ex Llloyds TSB worker ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
