Hi
Has anyone experience of using these pre filled cards...can you get cash from ATM's free?I use my credit card 90% of the time just need to be able to access cash for the other 10%.Can you get Turkish or is it only Euros and dollars?

We use their Euro card system, only use them to draw cash but could use them as Credit Cards if required. Find it easy to top up using the internet once properly set up - took me 30 seconds this morning. Cash available within an hour of so after top up. Only available in £, € or $, not YTL, so you might have to look for another work round in Turkey.

I've got a € one and it seems pretty good. I use it when do deliveries around Europe. Explanation of all the fees in pretty clear language here...

The exchange rate is usally better then the high street banks as well...

No good in Turkey though.

i ve looked at lots of options - for £ to euro I have found no better. The only charge incurred is loading the card - cost about half % - after that use in bank machines for cash, any anywhere which takes debit/credit cards at no extra cost.
