todays exchange rate

[wilma-bride]

I ended up reloading ur Fairfx card last night at $1.495 to the £. I was waiting for $1.5 but when I worked it out, buying £500 it would have only made $1.25 difference so I just bit the bullet and did it. I'm quite pleased as I had resigned myself to only getting $1.4 earlier in the year.

It seems to be back on the way up now though - I didn't buy today - got all the cash withdrawn but am going to give it a couple more days!!

Same. I want some travellers cheques too - I like to take a mixture of forms of currency and I like my TCs. FairFX is good enough as Wilma says - even on £1000 you only score $2.50 if it hits 1.50. But the high street/other online prices are not quite there yet and that will buy something nice. I am happy with it as it is since it's close enough but I am willing to wait.

 

[howlongtillsummer?]

Yeah me too. I know I can get them whichever day I want so may as well give it another few days. The trend from the start of June has been very positive. So fingers crossed!!

Is the online rate for Thomas Cook higher than the instore rate? I don't know what the rate was today in the stores by way of comparison. Also, do you know if you can collect in the store? Just been on the site and there doesn't seem to be an option I want travellers cheques so I need to sign them. It makes no sense to offer them for home delivery, or can someone enlighten me on this?

 

[howlongtillsummer?]

Sorry I can't but I would love to know too. Hard to get high street rates - they are not really even in windows now.

I know. I can walk past the Cheque Centre in my lunch hour, but Thomas Cook isn't worth the detour as the place is always jam packed at that time of the day and you have to go in to find out. Also, if you get a better online rate then I may as well go with TC.

 

[les2425]

hi the rate is normaly a bit more online, last year all you did was print of a voucher with the currrent exchange rate and take it in store to get that rate.
But no got to this link
ww .tho masc ook. com/money/

on the right you see the Bureau De Change, click buy in store
another window will open
there are 3 section curency,travellers cheque and money passports, choose whatever you want.
choose currency of the travellers cheque, enter in amount in pounds (min £100), it then work out what you get, click continue.

on the next page,
choose store wear you would like to collect youre travellers cheque on what date and person information, how you want to pay.

i hope this helps.

i found out why they dont show you the rate so you go into the shop to find out, naughty naughty.

[howlongtillsummer?]

Thanks that is very useful. Appreciate it.

 

[2Tiggies]

Yes, thanks Les. They have made it more roundabout to get to the page. I used it before but it used to be more obvious from the home page.
