1 Pound = 2+ Dollars - how much higher?

I've never used travelex but I've ordered from Marks and Spencer Money. Can't put the website link as it would be deleted but it comes under the money section on their website.

Thanks Diane, i should have realised, im not going until April 07 so i have some time, i just thought that if it was so high it might be worth buying some now, perhaps i will still and i will def check with M&A and Travelex.ive not actually heard of them before though Diane are they on-line? ive never exchanged money on-line before.
Thanks Carrie

Carrie - It's good old M&S - Marks and Spencer- lol [msnwink]. Travelex is the money exchage at the airports - you order your money before you go and collect it on departure. I've never use them but do use their web site to check the exchange rate. However, some of the high street travel agents such as Thomas Cook will match internet rates, so if you print off your findings on the internet and take them into Thomas Cooks they give you a better deal. If you are not going until April you have plenty of time to shop around and wait for a really good rate to come along[msnwink].

Hope this has helped,

Diane

We are hanging back with buying our currency at the moment, still hoping for it to get back to the higher price

Well your mortgage might go up with the interest rate rise yesterday but it also lead to a new £/$ rate of 1.91 earlier today.

It's an ill wind..........

Lets hope it stays that way for a while. I have just telephoned my building society to get my money sent to my bank account so I can send it over to pay off our US mortgage. this takes 3 working days, so fingers crossed that it stays at this rate until then[lucky]

Why is the dollar so bouyant again[?]

The headline news is the interest rates. The snap decision this week by the Bank of England and European Central Banks to raise rates by a 1/4 percent made the pound and euro stronger against the dollar.

There are also constant underlying murmerings about inflation worries (shock! never would have seen that one coming [msnwink]) and the relative strength of the US/UK/European economies.

Nobody knows what the future holds but one thing is for sure. With the pound sitting at around $1.90 (ish, give-or-take) Florida is great value right now. Fill your boots and snap it up while it lasts. [msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msncool]

1.846 at M+S this morning

Hi Thomas Cook also are giving 1.84 this morning, mind you i did as you guys suggested once, and printed off M&S rate from the internet and they were prepared to match it.

Yep - great value for holidays to Florida at the moment. Am in a dilemma now as to whether I should buy now or wait another 2 weeks. Lets hope the upward trend keeps going
