So, holiday time nearly upon us and once again the banks are trying to dry butt rape me on exchange rates.

Anyone got any knowledge of decent offers please?

TIA

best deal i got was at the post office, change over £1000 and you'll get 1.12, best i could find.  www.duckworthparts.co.uk

Whether you get 1.10 or 1.12, it makes little difference when your paying the best part of €6 for a pint of beer

Get use to the dry butt stretching, as it's not going to stop until your back at work.

Enjoy your holiday Dom  

Yeah, cheers for that Justin

Considering the Euro is supposedly down the tubes, how come we're about 30 cents short of where it should be ??

Just sent an email round work offering to buy up the odd ones people have lying around - up to about 120 quids worth already (department of international travellers)

Went down my local post office earlier (the reason I started looking in anger) and the miserable place offered me 1.05:1 for 600 quid changed. Thieves. Phoned my bank where I'm supposedly a valued "Premier" customer and got 1.07. FFS !!!

Current market trading at €1.16.46 to the pound. So banks are taking about 8% then. Greedy F..ers. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

I use the FairFX currency card for my main spending..

Load it up with a better rate and use it like a master card.

Having said that, it was 1.14 on Monday, now it's 1.12

I'd go with the FairFX card - we've been using it a week now in Europe with no probs. But most importantly, you don't get charged to use it unlike a credit card . . . .  Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

SAGA seem to have a good deal - and no you don't have to be over 50 like some on this forum - inc me  Geoff
