todays exchange rate

[2Tiggies]

i used www.iceplc.com for my travel money and was very satisfied with them - their rate at the moment is 1.4451 - it can change during the day, but I have found they have better rates than most other places I have looked at

I have also noticed that on the Dibb homepage they consistently have the best rate. I just don't know anyone who has experience with them and really don't know anything about them at all. What did you order? TC's or cash?

I ordered both TC's and cash. I think I ordered about $1000 of TC's and $500 cash. I still have some currency to buy, and will definitely be using them again, and have also recommended them to my friend.

Les - this is a great thread. Do you watch the markets? I travel in December. Do you think I should hold out or exchange now? It's so depressing. On our last trip the raate was 1.9+!

You just can't tell. When I booked in 2008 the rate was 2/1 When we flew last Easter it was sitting just under 1.40 (When we got back 2 1/2 weeks later it was already at 1.50 and climbing) Now it's not that the 1.40 was actually bad - just a vast contrast from the previous year. BUT when the markets did their first sudden big slide I went and bought a substantial stash at around 1.90.

Is it just me, or is anyone else just starting to feel a bit more relaxed about exchange rates now? I know, I know, you never never know ..... but it is almost where it was before it did the big plunge.

 

[les2425]

lets just see what happens tomorrow and wednesday as the budget may or may not cause some problems.

You canget significantly better rates via alternative's on the web.

Fairfx are really good.The best for cash I've found are iceplc.com and they are offering 1.4585 today with free delivery.

There were other updates on the thread from various sources so it gives everyone an idea more or less what the rates are through various options for currency.

Is there a minimum order for Iceplc? They are consistently good.

 

[les2425]

the rates i give out each day are just a guide, the hard part is finding a good company with good customer service and rates.
so please keep posting so we all can be better off when we change are hard earned cash into dollars.

I think that you need to order £400 to qualify for the free delivery.
