Coles reloadable card or ATM for travel in NZ?

Going to New Zealand and wondering if I would be best to withdraw cash from ATM in NZ to get best rate or to load cash into Coles reloadable card that has no international transaction fees. Thanks

    Get a Citibank Plus card !

    • no time for that, going next week

  • How long are you going for? Maybe not the most convenient, but the best thing (money wise) to do is;
    Set up an appointment with ANZ for the day you land and open a NZ fee-free transaction account. Then use OFX and wire transfer some money into your account. That way you have access to all of ANZ's ATM's for free, and use a normal debit card. Plus, OFX uses pretty dam good exchange rates.

    I did that at least, you might not have as much time as I did.

    Alternative, try your luck with a Macquarie Platinum Transaction Account. You should get your card by Friday if you apply today.
    Won't' help with ATM's, but best exchange rate.

    • Thanks I am only going for 8 days
