Actually got a better rate than travelex yesterday through the post office website. www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po

Order online and pay upon collection at one of 600 post offices.

Post office today is $1.728

 

[Daniel&family]

Travelex and M&S are both $1.751

As Shellbell said P.O. $1.7282

Brian was it the Travelex on-line rate you were comparing the P.O. with? (Travelex on-line rate yesterday was $1.77)

yes I got $177.5 yesterday. I can say that I went in the post office to buy there but their rate was only $174.5.

Its possible I took advantage of an error?

Now I have bought I am not looking again.!!!!!!!

..Travelex will reimburse the difference if you can buy currency cheaper anywhere else.

If you are travelling in the next few days and can get a good rate today (M&S seem to be offering 1.796 again at the moment) - i'd take it.

The US have just announced their best numbers on new job creation for around 4 years and the dollar has strengthened accordingly - down from about 1.86 on the money markets yesterday to under 1.83 at the moment (and looking to drop further).

Longer-term who knows, but if you were debating buying now or early next week I don't think you'll see 1.80 for a while.
