[pezzapixiedust]

hi all just thought id let you know that the dollar is at 1.90 on marks and spencer money. i've got mine at this fab rate!

 

[snookhams]

Thats a good rate - are there any restrictions i.e. to you need a M & S credit card!

Just noticed that travelex have the dollar at 1.9154 at http://www.travelex.co.uk/personal/rateslist.asp?content=rtl and you can collect it at the airport we have used them in the past and really good

Thats typical NYC been and gone. Oh well! It was still a good rate we got. Considering the last two holidays to FL were poor.

That's good. We got ours from Marks and Spencer last year and Travelex the year before, both really good. I noticed Crown Exchange has an exchange rate of 1.92, but never used them before, so don't know what there like.

Tesco, SAGA and Travelex are the current front runners. At around 1.91

My Mum ordered her from Travelex (via TESCO) last week but when they arrived a few of the ($100) notes were riped at the corners (probably by money counter, I guess).
They REFUSED to replace the notes and said there was nothing they could do. She could only risk sending the lot back for a full refund. She didn't want to risk sending the $3000 cash even registered post so she's kept them.
Mum has been in touch with the US treasury who cannot guarantee they will be accepted.
At my nearest Tesco Extra there is a little travel money booth that is commission free. Look out for these if you want to use Tesco at least you can check the notes beforehand.

The Cheque Centre's rate today was $1.92.

We're only just starting to save for our holiday for next year so have no money to get this rate yet, shame really!

Just to add further fuel to the fire foreign exchange dealers are writing tickets at 1.9815 with talk of a breakout to 2.00!!!!!

You have been warned !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thomas exchange are at $1.93. We always buy ours from travelex and use thomasexchange for the pricematch, it's only 2c but if your changing alot then it adds up.
We just changed £2000 so thats $40 extra!!! not bad for nothing.

I got a surprise walking past a 'Cash Generator' shop in Glasgow the other day. They now have one of the exchange boards up so I had a quick glance, thinking they would be offering a rubbish rate. They were offering 1.91! Not bad for what is effectively a pawn shop.

Think the currency was done through a company called www.no1currency.com (and I just checked their website, they are now offering 1.92 )
