Useless card
Useless card - I preloaded it with 60 euros before travelling to Italy and then tried it in a restaurant but it didn't work. Then tried it in an atm but that didn't work either. Stick to your usual credit card (Halifax in ny case)

Used card to get fuel at a petrol station in France. Company took €150 off the card but I had only taken €50 of fuel. Phoned up account support and was told this can happen and it shouldn’t be used in a petrol station but the money should go back on. Two weeks later lost €100. Emailed post office a week ago no reply. Not great customer service.

Going to Europe - Travel Money Card is for you
Really impressed with my Travel Money card. Once loaded on my phone I was able to use it easily everywhere throughout France during my recent trip. Great for bus tickets, easy paying on cafe or restaurant bills. The app made it easy to top up and keep track of the payments and top up when needed. Knowing it had limited money on also gave me security as far as any cloning risk went too. Highly Recommend

Over the years I have used this card reliably. However earlier in the year I had it declined in Germany and more recently declined in Denmark. First of its declined on tap and go , then i am asked to enter PIN number and it’s declined again. I have checked i am entering the correct number. On other occasions it’s been accepted. Having to have a backup card to hand , makes it less than useful.
Tried to register card with dsb (danish travel app) enter card details, then some text from post office appears about wanting to prevent fraud and do a 0 transaction, so I open up post office app, and there is no transaction to authorise. Go back to dsb app and card details have disappeared. Yet when I register my Barclaycard card added with no authorisation or issues.

Annoyed
Annoyed. I’ve been using this card for years on the assumption that it was a cheaper way to pay for things while travelling in Europe than using my normal UK debit card.
However, on a recent trip to France, I compared the exchange rates and was really disappointed to discover that I would actually have got a better rate using my regular debit card. In other words, using my Post Office card was costing me more money, not saving me money.
I feel quite misled, as the whole reason I’ve continued to use the card abroad was because I believed it offered a financial advantage. I certainly won’t be using my Post Office card again.

Impossible to top up card whilst abroad
Put some money on the post office travel card for holiday in France. Whilst the card worked fine in most places, I found it impossible to top it up. The app kept coming up with an error message. I called the help line and they said it was because of the security with my bank. However, I was approving the transaction in my banking app, and it was the post office's system that wasn't working (I spoke with my bank also who confirmed they weren't blocking the payment).
Followed the advice of customer services who said, go on the website instead of the app and make the top up payment that way. Tried it in different ways about 10 times, kept getting error messages. Gave up at this point and just went back to using my usual bank card, incurring higher transaction charges for using abroad.
Would not use Post Office card again. My friends use Revolut so will look into that, or a similar service. Will definitely research it more next time as I don't want a repeat of this experience.
Would not recommend.

I like the general concept and handiness of this card, but I have an older, expired, card on my app that I don't seem to be able to get rid of
It appears on my app and will still allow me to credit money onto it, but is then of no further use
Also, when I spent money whilst on holiday, then later looked at my balance, the money I spent had not been deducted and gave the impression that I had a larger balance than I really had
Once I 'opened' the card the balance then corrected itself
It is possible that I have misunderstood something but overall my experience of this service was positive
