Pre-paid Card advice

Lsayd · Sep 9th, 2009, 20:18

Hi All,

We are sending my son and his new wife to India for their honeymoon and need to know the best way to send money with them for meals/spending money. I've been advised to have them use an ATM card while there, but we would rather they have a pre-paid debit card or something like that instead of their ATM card. Any advice as to the best one from the USA to get? I looked at the Canton FX, but that's for UK folks only, is there a similar card in the US?

Thanks for any info you can provide!

ATMs (and a few dollars in cash) worked well for me -- no need to re-invent the wheel here.

Unless they are going to eat in very high-end restaurants, a credit card won't be as much use as it is in the US, where even McDonald's takes them.
