Since 2023, I have been with CupoNation Australia as an Editor, refreshing Travelex codes and offers twice a week to keep deals accurate and up to date. When a card terminal overseas offers to charge my Money Card in Australian dollars, I always say no and pay in the local currency. Travelex itself advises paying in the currency of the country you're in, because choosing another currency can add extra cost and quietly undo the rate you got when loading the card.
Travelex is a foreign exchange retailer selling foreign cash and its prepaid Money Card through its website, app and more than 80 stores, including airport locations.
Online orders start at $350 for cash and $500 for a new Money Card, compared with $100 for a card bought in store, so smaller amounts may have to be bought at a counter, where rates differ from online.
Codes apply at the online checkout, where Travelex says its best rate always sits. Two other choices there matter just as much, the size of your order and how you pay.
Online currency is priced in two tiers, and orders of $2,000 or more get a better rate than smaller ones. Each online order can go up to $5,000, so there's room to clear the line.
If you're travelling with family or friends to the same country, one combined order usually beats two smaller ones. Splitting the cash after you collect it costs nothing, while two orders under $2,000 each miss the better rate.
PayID and Australian Visa or Mastercard debit cards carry no surcharge, and BPAY is also accepted. Foreign-issued cards aren't. Your choice changes how soon the cash is ready.
Airport pick-up takes 1 business day with a debit card, 2 with PayID and 3 with BPAY.
Other stores take 3 business days with a debit card, 4 with PayID and 5 with BPAY.
If you're waiting for a better rate close to your flight, a debit card gives the shortest wait. BPAY means committing almost a week ahead.
Collecting from a Travelex store, including selected airport stores, is free, and you can choose a date up to 21 days ahead. The other routes come with conditions.
Australia Post collection adds a $15 fee.
Home delivery is free, but only for orders that are just a Money Card.
Orders mixing cash and a card must be collected from a store.
You can move your collection date if you ask at least 4 business days before it, as long as the new date stays inside the original window. Free store pick-up is the better choice unless a post office is far closer, since $15 takes a real bite out of the online rate advantage on a smaller cash order.
The Travelex Money Card holds several currencies, and buying the card online or in the app is free. Most costs come from how you load and leave it.
Online and app reloads are free, with a $50 minimum.
In store, loading foreign currency is free, but Australian dollar loads cost 1.1% or $15, whichever is greater.
Topping up by BPAY outside the website or app costs 1%.
Overseas ATM withdrawals carry no card fee, though the ATM operator may charge its own.
A $4 monthly inactivity fee starts after 12 months without use, and closing the card costs $10.
Reload in the app before you leave rather than at a counter. If another trip isn't planned within a year, cashing out for $10 beats paying $4 a month once the inactivity fee kicks in.
If another retailer's physical store offers a better overall price on the same day, Travelex says it'll beat it in its own stores. The overall price includes the exchange rate plus any delivery, collection, admin and payment fees, so a sharper headline rate with a fee attached may not win. If you spot a better price after buying, you can claim the difference back, up to $100, through the email form, although airport stores are excluded from refunds.
The promise covers store purchases, not online orders, so it helps most when you're buying at a suburban counter with a competitor's same-day quote in hand.
Leftover banknotes can only be sold back in store, at that store's buy rate, which can change during the day. Coins aren't accepted, and some currencies can't be sold back at all.
On in-store orders of $100 or more, the Buy Back Promise costs $10 and lets you sell leftover notes back within 180 days at a special rate with no commission, up to the amount you bought. It earns its fee on a larger order of a currency you may not spend, but on a small purchase the $10 can cost more than it saves.
You earn 1 Everyday Rewards point per dollar on foreign currency bought online, in the app or in store, and 2,000 points take $10 off a future shop. Scan your card or enter its number before you pay, as points can't be added later.
Australian dollar loads onto the Money Card and fees don't earn points, so loading foreign currency directly is how you collect them.
The Rate Tracker emails you when a currency reaches the target rate you set. Set it as soon as your trip is booked. Paying for an online order fixes your rate, so ordering when the alert lands locks in the number you were waiting for instead of hoping it holds until you fly.
Travelex sells prepaid travel SIMs and eSIMs from simify, with no lock-in contract, no ID checks and a 100% money-back guarantee if the SIM doesn't make your trip easier. Plans of $30 or more include international calls and texts. A prepaid plan sized to your trip keeps phone costs fixed, and the guarantee takes the risk out of trying one.
