Holidaymakers are being offered the chance to get leading pre-paid MasterCard Escape Travel Money free of charge for a limited time in the run up to the summer holiday period.

The offer is redeemable by using the voucher code POST1 online at http://www.ezpayltd.co.uk/escape-travel/post-office-offer/ and runs from 11 May 2011 until 11 August 2011*. The offer applies to users of the rival Post Office pre-paid card, many of whom recently found they were unable to use their cards due to a technical glitch.

The Escape Travel Money card from EZPay Ltd – part of the Phones4U Group – is waiving its usual £9.99 purchase fee so even more customers can enjoy its great currency exchange rate and fee-free use overseas.

Paul Smith, managing director of EZPay Ltd, said:

“A rival pre-paid card issued by the Post Office has been in the news recently, since it failed to work and customers were offered poor exchange rates to retrieve their money from the card.

“We don’t want anybody to have negative opinions of the industry. That’s why we are offering Post Office customers our card free of charge. The Escape Travel Money card offers some of the best benefits on the market and we are confident once people use it they won’t be tempted to go elsewhere.”

Escape Travel Money gives users the opportunity to load currency at better-than-high-street rates before they head abroad. The card can then be used without charge to shop abroad or withdraw money from an international ATM.

It can be used in over 30 million MasterCard locations worldwide and users can also gain access to a range of attractive money-back offers.

* Anybody wanting to redeem their £9.99 purchase price back should put POST1 in the “How did you hear about us” page in the registration. To redeem the cost of the card back users must load £100 in the first 90 days after purchasing their Escape Travel Money card.
