      How our Buy Back Promise works

      You can add our Buy Back Promise when you buy travel money from us online or in-store. If you have any money left over when you get home, we’ll turn your foreign currency back into Pounds Sterling at the same exchange rate.

      Just take your unspent currency to a Tesco Travel Money Bureau in-store and we’ll buy it back.

      Our Buy Back Promise costs just £2.75 if you’re a Clubcard member or £2.99 if you’re not.

        Our Buy Back Promise is only available if you’re:

        • going abroad and coming back to the UK within 45 days
        • spending a minimum of £75 on travel money online or £35 in-store

        We’ll buy back your foreign currency bank notes at the same exchange rate you got when you bought your travel money from us, up to a maximum value of £250.

        We'll buy back any currency you have above the £250 limit - except Moroccan Dirham - using the rate available on the day, which you can see on our rates board in-store.

        When you buy your travel money from us, you’ll see the exchange rate on your receipt.

                                Multi-currency Cash Passport is issued by PrePay Technologies Limited pursuant to license by Mastercard International.

                                  Exchange rates may vary during the day.

                                  Rates will vary depending on whether you’re buying in-store, online or over the phone. They’ll also vary depending on whether you’re buying cash or a prepaid currency card.

                                    Buying currency using your credit or debit card

                                    We won’t charge you a card handling fee, no matter how you buy your travel money - whether it be in-store, online or over the phone.

                                    However, your credit or debit card provider may charge fees for currency transactions - for example, cash advance or other fees. So, if you’re not sure, it’s best to check with them before you buy.

                                      However, if you cancel less than 24 hours before your collection date, we'll charge you a £10 late cancellation fee and deduct this from your refund.

                                      We can’t refund any fees charged by your card provider, so please contact them if you have any questions about that.
