if you are thinking of getting this over currency from sainsburys bureau de change, don't, for the following reasons:1.You'll spend at least 15 minutes (rather than 5) going through all the paperwork.2. the link you'll then have to go to online afterwards to activate the card won't work (at least it didn't in our case).3. The customer service from mastercard will be appalling.4.You'll be charged the privilege of closing down your account (£6 in our case), because Mastercard relies on you leaving your own money dormant in their account.All the above means we'd never use mastercard again. Period.
