Thank you. :)

I always try M&S's rates first and for my last three holidays they have given the best rates and without any commission charges too!

I have also found they have given us the best travel insurance deals too.

Use this to find the store in question:

Then click on the services link (under store detail on the left) and look for Bureau de Change.

I thought you needed an M&S credit card to exchange currency??

For me, im going to Travelex, they are local to me - Farthing Corner.. about 2min walk. They are offering €1.4281 to the £.

You don't but if you do the M&S credit card they don't charge you any interest or fees on the currency purchase, so you can have the money intrest free for the 50 odd days before the next statment.

Most other banks will charge you a % if you purchase currency on a credit card.

Just been doing a search and you can order from M&S online, and they will be delivered to your door.
The exchange rate at the moment is 1.43.
You don't have to have an account with them you can pay buy debit or credit card.
Rate with my bank is 1.41 so may as well get a few extra euros and get it from M&S.

Just a tip.
If you stay in a Disney resort give the number of your credit card when you check in.
You get a paper witch you can use to pay every where. Just show it in the shop or restaurant.
When you check out the staff member will check all your credits and then they will be credited from your account.
You practically don’t need cash. It works perfect.
