Not so good after all!

This is my original review a few days ago:
First time of used the Post Office travel car. Adding funds to the card is straightforward and and not having a bank account linked to the card is a great feature.
The transactions view are instant so keeping track of expenses is easy.
This card is so much easier than carrying around currency notes and coins.

I now amend it:

I paid a security deposit at a Zurich hotel 13th September 26, they put through the refund 14th September 26 and yet today (18th September 36) the v refund has not been credited to my Travel Card. Post Office - are you responsible? My travel card has over CHF 500 and yet there doesn't appear to be an easy way to have this amount transferred back to my linked bank account, and YES, I have swapped the amount back to Sterling! Very disappointing 😞

What is wrong with these people?

I ordered some euros BUT there is nowhere to put what denominations you want. I immediately responded to the order confirmation, asking for 2 x Euro100 bills, to give as part of a wedding present. I end up with a wad of notes, a 50, 6 x 20's and 6 5's. yeh, really impressive service.

More buck passing, what can't they forward my complaint?

Dear Norman,

Thank you for your response and for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your experience with your foreign currency order and the reported denominations.

As this review was posted on the Post Office Travel Money Card page, I wanted to let you know that the Travel Money Card team is unable to investigate cash currency orders, as these are handled by a separate department.

For further assistance, please contact the Foreign Currency Customer Services team on 0345 850 0900, who will be best placed to review your case and discuss the outcome of any investigation.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we hope the relevant team can help resolve this matter.

Tried to pay a hotel drinks bill, over 350 euros on the card and the post office declined 3 times to authorise payment although correct code entered. Total waste of time will be withdrawing money from card.

Post office card difficult to top up

Card is ok but it's very difficult to top up
Have tried over five times
Not an issue with my bank the issue is with the IT system at the post office, sometimes it works other times it a bit clunky.
Am lucky I use a card with my bank, so probably will not renew Post office and either go with another provider or just use my bank
