A. When your lastminute.com currency card is used for a security deposit a ‘hold’ is put on the funds on your card. Unlike a credit card, your lastminute.com currency card carries a prepaid balance and the hold on the funds will prevent you from using the money placed on your card. This hold can last for up to 30 days. Our advice is to use any other card for the security deposit and your lastminute.com currency card when the payment transaction is required.
