I rang around a couple of places in the week for some prices, and then Thomson were doing 1.96 and M&S were doing 2.01

[another]

M&S is usually the best place we find, you could also try the Post Office.

Travelex.com normaly offers a good rate.I have found in the past you can play one company off against another in the high street.Most times they will match if you push hard enough.

i got $1.976 in travelcare on the highstreet friday[/quote]Today I got $400 from an ATM(at Publix) with a Nationwide Debit Card and they cost £196.11 which is an exchange rate of £1 =
$2.03967

So anyone buying their $400 in UK at £1 = $1.976 would pay £6.32 extra!!(assuming there were no extra charges)

Or putting it another way for the £202.43 paid in UK to get $400, with a Nationwide credit or debit card you would get an extra $12.89.

I cannot think why anyone buys US currency these days and doen't use plastic in the States.

i've bought some now in advance Robert as you never know i may get a really rubbish rate come may 08[msneek] and i wanted to get some now whils't the goings good

i will be using the nationwide card for the rest of the $$$ whilst over there, unless i see the rate drop alarmingly

[domster]

The post office have good rates. Or you can buy Travelex online and collect at the airport. This is also a good rate.
