Qantas Cash Card and the Emirati Dirham

[MAX_1]

Considering that Qantas has a major alliance with Emirates , I am surprised that the Dirham cannot be loaded to their Cash Card. Has there been any indication that this would be considered in the future.

It was mentioned as one of the currencies under consideration, however its poorly traded, I believe THB is next, as it stands at present both would be expensive transactions under the card at present.

They also mentioned there was no limit to the number of currencies they could include.

Yup....I asked that Q

While there's no limit, does having a currency available cost them money, such that poor take up of it could lead to them removing a currency? What would happen if you held cash in that currency and it was removed, etc?

Asked more generally, not directly at medhead, of course

Any plans for Lithuanian Litas? No?? Oh well, the 28 Degrees card will have to suffice for that trip.

I guess if you are planning to use this for Dirhams ( or any other currency not one of the 'chosen') it's best to ensure the automatic conversion comes from the AUD "wallet". This way you avoid a double whammy.
