June 16th - How to manage your holiday money

With sterling plummeting on the foreign exchanges, it's more important than ever to manage your holiday money.Choose a payment method with no foreign transaction fee. Otherwise you could lose 3 per cent on credit card purchases and even more on debit cards. If your bank doesn’t offer one, then choose a card from another provider – I have one I use purely for overseas travel.And equally important – understand the local tipping culture, or you could either cause offence or spend more than you need.Of course, this podcast is free as is my weekly newsletter, which you can get every Friday: https://www.independent.co.uk/newsletters Hosted on Acast.
