hi, i believe i read on here a while back, you can buy a visa or some kind of card with USD on it so effectively lock in the current rate.

Anyone know where to get it and what's it called.

Cause I wanna buy stuff overseas online but not right now and would like to secure the current rate.

thanks!

I believe it's called a PrePaid Currency Card or you can use a PrePaid VISA Debit card

the post office sells em, but they are not really a bargain…. as there is fees to buy the card, fees to put cash on the card, fees to get cash off the card and fees if you leave cash on the card.

I use the 28 degrees master card, but then you are at the mercy of the exchange rate
