We brought you news just the other week about the sheer numbers of people losing their money and possessions on their stag weekends abroad and naughty us, we never suggested a solution to these problems. Well, if you leave your iPhone in some sticky underground club in Prague there’s not much we can do about it, but when it comes to your pennies, we reckon there’s a solution at last to safeguard your beer dollar on your stag weekend.
Don't end up penniless with the stag do blues
The my Travel Cash card has been unveiled and the idea is that you pre-load the card with your budget for the weekend and it works like a pay-as-you-go mobile, helping you to control what you’re spending on the trip and meaning you only carry the cash you need at that particular moment. There’s no charge when you use the card to pay for things abroad and it can actually work out as a cheaper option than getting your money changed at a Bureau De Change before you set off.
Nifty, eh?
The only issue we can foresee with this product is, what if you lose it? I suppose that’s where the boys you’re away with come in. Another lovely little bonus of the my Travel Card is that you can avoid those pesky Ryanair booking fees when booking a flight with them, meaning that Prague stag do is looking awful frugal before you’ve even left good ol’ Blighty.
