Can anyone help please? I have a nationwide flex visa debit card and a fair fx dollar card (currently giving over 1.52). Which would be the best for me to use in Orlando? Thanks.

Fair fx gives a guaranteed rate whereas the Nationwide card can have the rate change daily. Personally i use a caxton fx card which is similar to fair fx and keep a credit card to back it up.

Am going to the Dominican Republic on the 22nd May :j and was thinking of taking dollars, should I wait until after the election?

Also all the rates seem to be better for collection in London - I'm in Manchester - Any ideas?

Thanks;)

CCE offer 1.54 for delivery on 20th May, there is nothing better out there currently. Again as you are going in 4 weeks you should maybe thinking about weighing up how much extra you will gain/lose by waiting, personally i can't see the rate moving by 5 or 10c to the pound in the next 4 weeks however you never know.

Cable dropped over the weekend currently trading at 1.52399.

Downward trend continues 1.5218

ICE still offering 1.5129 for immediate delivery which is pretty good given how the currency is bombing. Even CCE isn't offering it that good for delivery in 10 days

It's a bit more stable now 1.52816. At least it's stopped dropping for the time being. Any experts know why today took a plummit?

As long as it stays above 1.50 in the high street i think we should all be happy enough.

Thanks very much, this thread needed something again, where is the old fella? I know he's had lots going on but it'd be good to see him back.

Trading this morning 1.53645. Offer still on at CCE for 31 days delivery at 1.54.

Might get a bit of my money now. Had a look at the first post as well as Google and couldn't understand your abbreviation. What site/company is CCE?

Crown currency exchange. There is a lot of mixed comments on this company mainly due to having to pre pay up front but i've personally used them many times with no issues at all
