The Reserve Bank of Australia has kept rates on hold today at its September meeting, leaving the cash rate unchanged at 3.5%.
"At today's meeting, the board judged that, with inflation expected to be consistent with the target and growth close to trend, but with a more subdued international outlook than was the case a few months ago, the stance of monetary policy remained appropriate,"

would have liked a 0.25% cut.....oh well

I just can't wait to shop

 

[australiankaren]

i called into com bank today to notify my travel dates and to add a note to my visa card that I WILL be shopping at walmart, so dont reject sale......

aust credit cards HATE Walmart ...so if you do a shop, do it in smaller amounts under $100 usd.

one more thing off my list of things to do

I've been stalking this thread for a few weeks now and finally felt I should probably post something. A bit of positive news, the dollar has been rising alot today. It's sitting just under $1.04. We are praying it continues to rise. We are all set for disneyworld in November and hoping to pay the rest of our holiday off at a good rate. Fingers crossed for everyone.

Now that is good news pinksalt!!! Just looking to get the final bit of cash, but I was waiting for it to go up a tad!!! Keep on going little guy..!!! ;-)

 

[xxpinksaltxx]

We are still waiting on travelex (we get no commission etc as as an airport staff deal) to up their rate. They are still offering $0.98 per $1au. Hoping to be able to buy cash at about $1.02 but not sure if that is hoping for too much. That means xe needs to be sitting on about $1.06.

 

[hjd0411]

I find the direct Travelex rates are really really bad!! Have you tried their online site? I've had a look and they seem to be better rates and still no commission. You nominate which office you want to pick up at. I think that is how I'm going to go.
Which airport do you work at?

I work at Melbourne tullamarine airport. Everyday watching people go on holiday is killing me. I will have a look at their online rates, thanks for the tip .
