no, you can swipe it there it means like a security deposit in hotels or whatnot.

Thats the reason I ordered my card, as I don't have a proper credit card. However, I think I'll leave money in my bank card at home and use that for security deposits.

Still ordered a caxton card as its safer than carrying around 2 grand in notes haha!

Wait...This does this mean you can't swipe it anywhere? Like even in Walmart or Subway or whatnot? :?


You can use it anywhere. Its a prepaid mastercard. So you basically treat it like your debit card at home.
You can use it to swipe at hotels - they just advise against it as it can hold up your money for up to 30days. Its like a ghost payment.

Well, yeah, obviously. I was more hoping you'd provide a link to the page with the information on it seeing as the "compare rates" page and the card loading page on my account, says 1.58.

Lizzy's right. 1.62 is the base rate, shown on Caxton's front page. But that's different from the exchange rate.

It won't load for me. I've loaded most of my money on already though. I loaded my second $1,000 as soon as I saw it reach 1.61!
