pounds to euros

[Medic-one]

where can you get the best rates these days? someone said post office but someone else advised me to check with all supermarkets.

anyone changed some euros recently, and where did you go?

It varies on the High St. Thomas Cook advertised a higher rate than anyone else but it was for the card only. For cash, not Boots, the other chemist (brain stiopped working) had the best rate on the day and TC matched it but in reality, when you work it all out, the difference is rarely worth the footfall required.

Last year I used Travel Premier by post for the best rate but the Euro is up and down like a slag's knickers at the moment.

Changed some up today - did you know you can haggle the rates?
Wife went in to 3 places and each one offered to match or better the previous rate, ended up saving £7 on £150 transaction - that's a beer or 2

Have used MoneyCorp (as linked to on the moneysavingexpert site listed above) twice for large amounts of euros. Really good rate and quick delivery, I'd use them again

This what we use - best rates and special delivery within 48 hours from most of the comapnies. Used fairfx at least twice, and acefx before as well I think.

Being a man i have to do everything last minute, so just been to postoffice and got € 105, for £ 100,

Though checking online at http://www.fairfx.com/ and that's saying £102.66 would have given me € 110, so not a massive difference.

Might look online next time a bit earlier then the evening before we are due to fly out...

Cheers everyone!

The difference between one shop and the next is much less than the difference currency movements make over a month anyway. Especially so with the Pound currently doing as st as it is doing. And now we've lost our AAA rating so no doubt it'll be more expensive next week when I want some for my holidays.

Fecking Euro.
