It just makes sense to have several different ways to access your money while you’re traveling. Peace of mind knowing you’re never stuck somewhere without funds.
Vanilla Gift Cards works just like a debit card minus the overdraft fees because you can’t spend more than you’ve added to the card. Having a pre paid card is so convenient and safer than having a ton of cash on you. You’ll know your budget for the trip and won’t have any surprise fees.
If you’ve been here for awhile you know I recently got hacked and had to cancel all my cards. It was really a hassle and I won’t be taking that chance again this summer. Add your vacation money to a Vanilla Gift Card to protect your finances and travel with ease!
Additional Tips:
-Have neighbor collect mail
-People who pickpocket love tourist destinations. Leave additional cards safe in your hotel room.
-Choose ATMs wisely
-Limit wifi connections (on a plane ride to Colorado I was once hacked and had my debit card info stolen by the time the plane had landed?)
-Leave sensitive items at home
-Safeguard your devices
-Keep luggage tag information to a minimum
Below are some of my favorite travel spots I can’t wait to revisit (safely) in the future.
US only. Vanilla Gift Cards can only be used within the US, not internationally.
