I use that and find it very handy.Originally Posted by vickk
Interestingly, Martin Lewis consistently advises people not to exchange large amounts of cash which he sees as giving poor value compared to a few specific credit credit/debit cards he lists. I think that's good advice but I know others base their choice on different criteria.

Glad to hear the dollar rate is on the up .Less than three months to go now so i will be looking for a good rate ...although martyn lewis said its best not to change large amounts in the one go .....but i wonder what, to him, is a large amount ?
I know i have seen some exchanges where the rate is better if you change more than £1000 to $$$$ at the one time
This was the close today
GBP/USD 1.5331 +0.0095 +0.6252% 1.5199 - 1.5364

Had an email from Fairfx last night saying they are offering 1.50 over the weekend. Handy as I need to top up my spending money.

That looks a pretty good at the moment but I don't have that card. Any thoughts on the pros and cons of it?
That is not bad against the close last night but I wonder if potentially the Dollar will weaken over the coming weeks and that is why they are offering this rate.
Will the Dollar be affected if North Korea escalates?
