Travelex usually offer good rates, you can buy on line and they are also at airports

Yes but the thing to remember is that the Airport Travelex don't give anywhere near the rate you get online. However, you can order online at the rate shown and pick up from the Airport.

Has anyone checked the rate today - just about to have a look[?]

Yes its down by 0.01 today.

M&S are giving 1.822. Interesting bit of information, I was in Thomas Cook and asked thier rate, it was only 1.75 but they said they would price match, and they matched M&S price, so I bought some $$$$ from them.

We have just sent some money over and got 1.86 today. Hubby works for Barclay's so good staff rate.

Went on Custom House.com web site and it is a wopping $1.88[msnsmile2]

Just checked this site as I hadnt heard of it and it does say that the rate quoted is for transactions over US$10,000

Hi Karen

I always use these for my dollars and i never known a minimum amount had to be changed. If you call them tommorrow the guy i usally deal with is Mike Mcfee.

Ali, with HIFX you have to have an account with them. I would be interested to know where you were previously looking as the exchange rate has nowhere near doubled! Or do you mean that for each £1 you are getting almost double in $'s?
