Travelex rate seems better than others?

[matty624]

Just been to http://www.travelex.co.uk/
and their rates seem to be at $1.8331, which is 3 cents higher than the trusty M&S rate (currently $1.804). There doesn't seem to be any commission...
Has anyone else used them.
Seems too good to be true!

Hi Ian.....I've used them twice in the last month, once for $ and once for TCs (the rates were too good to miss). All went smoothly in so far as pick up is concerned....only minor problem was non crediting of my BAA Worldpoints.

I think that the reason for the current difference between M & S and Travelex is simply that Travelex have not yet adjusted for the 3.5 cent drop in the market rate yesterday....their rates on Monday afternoon will, I'm sure, take this into account.

Travelex website shows their online ordering rate which is always slightly better than all the rest in my experience.
