Looks like we are in a similar predicament:

I am just going to get some. I didn't even notice - checked this morning and it was at 1.425. I do still want some TCs though and have to wait and see what that rate goes up to at the various places.

Depends if you are a gambler? I might wait and see, you will kick yourself either way xx

Just bought mine this morning from Thomas Exchange @ 1.50 T/C & Cash

Not a gambler and I dont have to buy too much so that also lessens the impact of the difference of a few points - not worth stressing about. I want to still get about £400 in TCs and £400 - 500 on my FairFX card. We shall see.

i have still got a good year before i need to change if it hits $1.60 to the pound as i still got a fair bit to exchange.

but only when its a really good deal.

I still have a couple of months yet. Normally I just pick up a couple of hundred $ cash and spend the rest on cards but it seems so volatile at the moment that I'm considering buying some extra up front this time just to hedge my bets.

If it hits $1.60 I'm going to buy a few, otherwise I'm just gonna suck up the rate when I'm over there with my cards.

Seems to be going up again today (so far).

Seems to be going up again today (so far).

Its been a nice steady rise the past month, up about 6 cents(almost 1 cent this morning upto $1.5359) http://news.bbc.co.uk/news/business/market_data/currency/11/12/one_month.stm
Would be nice if it does same again this next month, would be great to get $1.55-$1.60 again while we are there.

 

[howlongtillsummer?]

Loving this but I am def going to buy next week at the latest -- can't hold out any longer

If its no good for you Wayne, then that has put me right off. I'll wait and see what Fairfax does and just use them again. I always follow your tips with interest.

That makes two of us then (and I am pretty sure there are PLENTY more). No pressure Wayne
