Travelex call waiting system needs improvement. I tried reaching them on a routine matter today. System advised 20 minutes wait. Did not give option to leave a call back number. Instead at 30 second intervals a message that a rep would be with me momentarily was repeated. After waiting 33 minutes I hung up.

Travelex Retaining Personal Currency Transaction

On 08 June 2023 I converted UK Pound Sterling to 290 U.S. dollars and was only offered the Travelex Money Debit Card. I accepted this offer with the assurance that once I returned to the U.S. that day I would be able to obtain my funds in U.S. dollars, which my Travelex receipt reflected. Upon return to the U.S. I have been unable to access my funds after two attempts at my financial institution. I sent an email to Travelex on 8 June 2023 requesting they provide me funds through through traditional methods and they have failed to respond.

As a result of purchase

As a result of purchase, I was exspecting large bill notes more than two hundred dollars notes.
Easier to work with while vacationing.
Especially, since it was not purchase in Mexico.
This certainly is an incentive to anyone wanting to visit Mexico.
Also, a good selling point and public relations to Americans. More purchasing power.

Travelex US (ins.) and Air Tkt (flight booking)

Although the representative I was talking to over the phone was nice. The results were terrible. Seems that Air Tkt and Travelex US are owned by the same. March 2020 booked a flight from HOU to ACV (Californ.) for travel in April 2020. Paid $330 R/T and $15 for ins. Receive an e-mail from Air Tkt, COVID unable to fly will have credited $$$ for future travel. NOT tried to book for April 2021 and they want to charge $188 on top of the $330 (credit). The Airline direct website is only $340 R/T. Called Travelex, They could not HELP. I have to be in a car wreak on my travel date last year for coverage. the whole set up is a scam. STAY AWAY

Reply from Travelex US

Hi Billy,

Thank you for your feedback.

Due to the difficulties posed by Covid-19 and its devastating impact on the travel industry at large, it is with regret that our operations in the US and Canada have ceased to trade.

As of August 10, 2020, we are no longer providing currency or other services in the US and Canadian markets. We will look to minimize disruption to our customers to the extent that we can.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this.

Kind regards,
Online Support Team.

My 18 year old granddaughter tried to order a Travelex card. The first time, It didn't go through, although funds in her bank account were placed on hold pending the transaction. Once the funds were back in her account, tried again, including a phone call to Travelex. The request still didn't go through even with Travelex on the phone, guiding the process. They didn't know why the transaction couldn't go through. I ordered Canadian funds without any problem, and they were delivered by FedEX as promised.
