Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Internet Access
• Credit or Debit Card

1. 
   Get cash before you go!

   If you are planning a trip overseas the last thing you would want to do is end up exchanging your money into that country's currency at the airport's inflated rates. Start by being well prepared in advance and purchase your money online. Log onto www.ChicTravelDeals.com and click on the EXTRAS tab.

2. 
   Save some coin!

   Scroll down to the middle of the page where you will find Travel Resources and click on "Buy Foreign Currency". Choose how you will pay, the type of currency you are purchasing, and how you would like to receive the money.

3. 
   And less hastles at the airport!

   Then simply indicate how many US dollars or Foreign amount you would like, and click on the "Convert" button. You will see your exchange rate and the amount of money you are to receive. Click on "continue" and proceed to checkout. Your purchase will be delivered to you as requested and you will not be "taken to the cleaners" by the foreign exchange airport locations. Have a safe and healthy trip!
