When to buy euros?

[mangos]

Flying next Sat to Europe for 1 week.

Am i wise getting my euros this week or waiting until after the referendum?

[Composite Guru]

I'd get them now. Unless the ballot is fixed I can only see the pound going one way.

Do believe we'll vote in or out?

I've just been asking around and nearly all the people I asked have said out. The poll on here even goes that way too so its hard to believe it will go the other way unless the government stop it somehow.

I'm not starting this thread of on another topic, it's just my hunch at the moment.

It will be rigged then if that's the case.

Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die!!

That article was from 29th May, a lot of movement in the polls since then.

If you've got a decent current account (I use Nationwide Flex Plus) then you get a better rate, commission free and no charges, by just getting cash out of the wall.

The best I could find online last week was €1.25ish, and the Visa exchange rate for the day (which is what Nationwide use) was €1.27.

Last summer I got €1.40

I've been agonising over this myself for the last week or so, took the plunge at 1.25 a couple of days ago, although I think an 'in' vote would see a short term upwards spike, I'd rather lose the potential extra this would give me against the risk of a short term plummet following an 'out' vote.

For cash, I've never been able to beat buying online from Eurochange (collecting in the shop). Use code VIP2015TM for a fractionally better rate.

With that code, you can get 1.24 € to the £.

At the moment, I can withdraw from a cash point in France (or wherever) at 1.254 € to the £. Commission and fee free.

The best I can find online at the moment for collection is 1.255 € to the £.

[Gareth1974]

But will you be able to withdraw cash from the cashpoint in France at 1.25 per £ on 25th June?

How many people did you 'poll' CG? You seem to think you polled a relevant amount. Of course you didn't and the more weight you attribute to it, the bigger the fool you look.

It's area dependant of course. Literally no-one round my way is Leave and I've asked n+1 the number of people you have.

Well at least he's a fool with a smile, how about you.

I'd say asap.
I could have got 1.28 2 weeks ago but I didn't and had to get 1.25 a few days ago from Tesco.
Ordered online picked up the following day.

I'm confident of an IN vote and hopeful of a strengthening pound
