US Dollar rate

[nursejackie]

With our holiday less than 3 months away, and having read on the internet the pound was stronger, I am watching the dollar rate daily. It's at 1.33 with M&S today, but can't decide when to buy, do I hold out or cave and buy now? I'm thinking of waiting until it reaches 1.35. What would you do?

Just bit the bullet and ordered mine - we travel next Friday so it was a bit more pressing that yours!! I got 1.34 from Sainsburys (you get a better rate with a nectar card), which I'm really happy with - when we went to Alaska in June I only got 1.26.

Hi

I buy a bit and wait a bit and buy a bit more, it's all you can do, trying to predict is the road to madness

I feel your pain, last year we got 1.24. Had we known Brexit would have such a profound effect we would have bought the day before at 1.50+, but I'm a nurse not a trader so don't have a clue about business

We are flying 13th Jan, I think we'll hold out for now

I got mine last weekend from Sainsbury's. I ended up getting 1.34 with my nectar card which isn't too terrible considering I've been seeing 1.21 business rate up until quite recently. I think it's dropped ever so slightly now but still not too bad compared to what it's been lately...!
