My regular round-up of your personal finance questions.

I love hearing from you, whether it’s on the blog, social media, YouTube or email. Often you’re asking me questions about your finances, and I’m always glad to help if I have the time.

But I realised that my answers could also be useful to other followers. So I’ll be putting my responses to the best questions into regular articles here on the blog.

Keep reading for some of the questions I’ve been asked, plus the video live from this week with even more!

This week’s extra questions

If you’ve asked me a question elsewhere, you might find the answer below!

How do I get my Monzo card to pay in bahts?

Hi. I’m going to Thailand in a few months but I need to know how to change the money in my Monzo account into Thai baht, how do I do that?

You don’t need to – you just spend as normal with your card (choose the local currency not pounds if given the options) or use it to take money out of a cash machine. It might be worth changing some currency before you go though, just as a back up for when you arrive.

Will I get a second Amex bonus?

Hey Andy, can You confirm IF I have the Amex Preferred Gold card, and get Amex BA Premium Plus, will I get the welcome offer?

Roscoe, via YouTube

Yes! The only exclusion for the Amex BA cards is that you don’t have or haven’t had a BA Amex in the last two years. Here’s more on how the different welcome offers work.

Is Nationwide’s Flex Direct good for savings?

Looking at the Nationwide Flexdirect account and it says you can earn 2% on balances up to £1,500. Yes you have to pay in £1,000 a month to get that but it does not have to stay there. Is it a good idea for an instant access account? 

Alistair, via the Facebook community

I’d actually stay clear as you only get the interest for 12 months the first time you open the account. I’d hope with rates increasing that Nationwide will boost this in the future (of course they might not). Here’s my review.

How should I pay for my wedding?

Hi Andy. I’ve recently come across your YouTube and instagram and found your videos extremely helpful! I just wanted to ask which card you would recommend if I am having a wedding in May and have a lot of expenses that I would get maximum benefits from? Many thanks in advance

Ore, via Instagram

There are a couple of benefits for your wedding spending, The first is extra consumer protection if something goes wrong. Any credit card will cover purchase over £100 (more on this here).

The next is cashback. Personally I’d look at one of the American Express cards if you’ve not had them before as the welcome bonuses can be huge. Check the different terms and conditions though.

Ultimately though it’s vital you check eligibility before applying. This tells you the chances of getting accepted – the higher the better.

Where should I put joint savings?

Hi everyone!! Anyone got a good recommendation for best joint savings account out there at the moment? 

Callum, via the Facebook community

I’d open up a joint Virgin Money M Plus account. 2.02% on the first £2k and 1% on the next £25,000.

Who pays off my old credit card?

If I transfer my credit card balance to 0% interest introductory credit card, who pays off the old credit card?

Ivan, via YouTube

The new credit card company will effectively clear the old debt, but put it on the new card. Here’s more on how Balance Transfer cards work.
