If anybody knew the answer to this they'd be rich! I just bought mine for May last week as the rate seems to be dropping slightly.

Also going in June and bought as much as I could afford last Friday i think with travelex - got 1.94. Just hope its as good for mid month next month when i get paid again so can get some more!

Ive bought my summer dollars thru CCE for May delivery.

Froggitt · 18 May 2007 at 12:20PM

My dollars arrived this week on the exact day they said. All lovely new coloured notes, not smelly old ones. Exchange rate 5c better than anyone else, which paid for the Universal tickets. Can't fault them. I did the 31-40 day spot rate (small admin charge to pay for that rate), which as of now is 1.9754......Travelex today quotes 1.9223 in comparison.

PS They post them Special Delivery, so it doesnt matter where you live.

I bought my cash dollars at Thomas Exchange Global last week...rate of 1.97. Travelex will price match them...their rate is 1.95 today, although no charges added though.

Ive been buying my dollars now

shudd1967 · 18 May 2007 at 3:29PM

Where are you seeing on travelex a rate of 1.95?

I have just looked and its 1.92?
