DON'T RISK DOING BUSINESS WITH TRAVELEX. New York New York

I tried to purchase foreign currency 7 times on Travelex.com and every time got a message that my purchase was declined by my bank.  Thinking this was strange, the first time, I called my bank and asked why I was denied.  They said I wasn't denied by them.  I called Travelex and got some very foreign sounding individual who assured me it was my bank and to try again in 24 hours.  I waited the 24 hours and went online again.  Denied.  Called Travelex and they tried to blame my bank.  Called bank, who said to try a different card.  I went online, tried a 10K card that had zero balance and no daily limit, as confirmed by bank, tried to make my $1500 purchase. Another message saying "denied by your lender".  Got pissed, called Travelex again, they said their system must have flagged me and to wait 24 hours.  I did.  Tried to use third card, but was denied.  Called the bank, who now suspects they are storing information to use fraudulently in the future and is filing a report with the SEC and one other agency I don't recall the name of. 

IF you want your Social Security Number, Birth Date, Driver's License number, Address, etc stolen by a company who has ZERO intention of selling to you, then go ahead and deal with TRAVELEX.
