    Travelex also do a price match gurantee. There are usually good rates at Thomas exchange and they are good at honuring the price match.

    you will need to e mail them with the detials so they can chanck the rate on the same day, so it may be worth checking.

    The Thomas rate is probably the best rate around, however you can only pick it up from Victoria St!

    I've asked about this price match and so far am waiting a response from Travelex re Thomas Exchange.

    I regularly quote travelex online rates at thomsons travel shops. They have price matched when over a grand (with a bit of haggle) Dont know if this is policy or maybe a local thing
    Have used travelex online ordering also. Very good. This is a much better rate than just walking up to the desk at the airport.

    Just an update re Travelex price promise. It works!! I bought some money online from them, called TEG to find out their rate and then emailed Travelex with the rate. Travelex will be sending a cheque to cover the difference!
