Big Freeze for spending in the Big Apple Caxtonfx launches the first prepaid Dollar Card

With the pound still near the magic two-dollar mark the launch of the Caxton FX Dollar Card couldn’t be timelier. This revolutionary prepaid card allows spenders to pre-buy dollars, free of charge, at the strongest exchange rate which is frozen when the funds are loaded. Unlike others, there are no fees incurred from banks and bureau de changes worldwide and the card is accepted anywhere with the MasterCard® logo.

This week is the busiest for travel agents, with more than 500,000 Brits booking a holiday overseas this Monday*. To avoid unaffordable borrowing during the ‘Credit Crunch,’ travellers to the States can use Caxtonfx’s Dollar Card to spend with added security and take advantage of the currency’s shrinking value. For the first time, shoppers can benefit from the best exchange rate being frozen at the time of loading – the Dollar Card is free and there are no conversion or transaction fees abroad. Card holders have better cost control and, combined with the New Year sales, can save as much money as the trip itself costs.

The prepaid MasterCard can simply be applied for online atwww.caxtonfxcard.com from the 11th of January and loaded free of charge with up to £5000 worth of spending money, which is credited in dollars and ready for use as a normal debit card. It can be re-charged anywhere in the world online, over the phone or via SMS, making it a safe and simple alternative to traditional spending methods.

Caxtonfx’s Chief Executive, Rupert Lee-Browne says “We’re excited to offer genuine savings on holiday expenses with this revolutionary method of spending – a prospect the savvy traveller will relish as the ‘new’ currency.”
