I'm going to load Lira onto my Wise card, and do a mix of using that card for purchases over there and perhaps drawing some cash out of an ATM too. Think it will have to be an ATM associated to a proper bank to avoid copping any charges though.

have you used wise ok in turkey before , i was gonna load some on mine

 

[aka blue jambo]

just use the atm , even if charged you will probably be better off than here as long as you dont except the conversion rate

So just accept the Lira rate?

Think I'm going to take Lira out today at M&S. Don't fully trust places abroad with fraud on cards. I will take the Starling for emergencies.

always accept the local rate or you will get charged 2 x conversion rate

Are we playing in sky blue? I am assuming colour clash and one team will have to change?

I'll certainly try on the way back. I quite fancy a second wife.

City being allocated as the home team so will play in blue I presume.

Thought id just pop this on here , for any others who may come across the same.
We had booked 3 nights with booking.com , yesterday the money was supposed to be taken . I woke up to a email saying booking would be cancelled if i didnt update my card , the same card i made another booking with 2 days earlier for somewhere else without a problem.
So i checked was no problem with the card , but i updated it just in case , i got confirmation card was updated.
Few minutes later i got a email saying the hotel had cancelled my booking.
After a few messages via chat on booking.com the owner sent me his whatsapp number .. he tried telling me booking.com was having problems and leave it with him and he will sort it out . We had booked 2 rooms for 3 nights for 364.50 euros , this morning he kindly got back to me but said the price is now 480 euros , i kindly told him to feck off and you cannot rip city fans off .
The hotel is called Hotel Pino Verde in taksim he now as the rooms on booking.com for 612 euros . talk about trying to cash in ? so watch your bookings in case there all at it . Weve rebooked and paid elsewhere .

This has already happened to me once with Mimoza Istaklal Apart Hotel. Booked another place now, fingers crossed it will be ok.
