Common questions

  • If you want to refer the Travel Money Card to your friends or family for the chance to claim your £10 offer, follow these steps.

    1. First, visit our Travel Money Card referrals page.

    2. Enter your name, email address, postcode and date of birth. Then click ‘Generate my link.’

    3. You’ll see a new page that includes a unique sharing link we’ve generated just for you. You need to copy and share this link in whatever ways will best reach your family and friends.

    4. There are a few ways to share the link:

    • Click the link itself to copy it to your clipboard. Then paste it into an email, app or social media, etc
    • Use the buttons in the ‘Share’ tab to share it directly to WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or X
    • Use the buttons in the ‘Email’ tab to share it to Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Outlook Live or your desktop email

    5. When your friends and family receive the link, they can use it to register for a new Travel Money Card. No need to worry if they’re not travelling right away. The link will be valid for six months, so they can get their Travel Money Card nearer their travels.

    6. Let the rewards roll in. We'll keep you updated whenever someone orders a new card using your link. If they load the minimum amount within the maximum time and number of loads to be eligible and complete a two-week ‘cooling off’ period, you'll each get £10 extra loaded onto your Travel Money Cards for your holiday spending.

    7. You can refer up to 10 friends for a total of £100 in extra spending money loaded to your card.

    1. Load your new card with at least £100, in a single load or a combination of your first three top-ups

    2. Do it within three months of ordering the card

    3. Complete a two-week cooling off period with your card

    Once you do, we’ll:

    • Add your £10 reward to your card balance, ready to spend on your next trip, and
