You can also take out cash on it with only 1.017% interest per month. If you pay in full on time, it could well be cheaper than using debit cards with all their fancy charges. Worth a closer look, I think!

Halifax have just launched their "Clarity" credit card which can be used world wide without any foreign exchange commission or added charges for overseas use.

Harvey -- currently 70rps , However , their is a lot of pressure on the Indian Govt to halt the strengthening Rupee by intervening on the Foreign Exchange Markets , by stepping in and Buying Dollars , Euros & Pounds & Selling the Rupee , because at these levels the Rupee Rate is having a negative effect on Indian exports . So I would expect that soon the rate will be back up in the mid 70s.
Possibly more , but dependant on the level Indian Govt Intervention .

As we are going to be first times to north goa next not 2011, i need a little help. I have read that we cannot buy rupees here but in resort. My question is, if we take travellers checks how does this work Can they be changed at hotels or airport? What travellers cheques are best or should we take british cash, dollars ets. Not sure what they can use there. Thanks x
Hi Derewentrocker
you can change TC or sterling here fine, but dont change in resort/airport go to the elephant shop or similar in Candolim and you will get a better rate..my 1st choice would be sterling (after a free debit card)
