Dollars from the High Street - Where's Best?

leew

Going away next Monday to Florida and i need some dollars, i was going to get them online as the rate is best but i've left it too late now grrr :mad:

Best rate on the high street please?

Thanks.

Depends what places are near you. Personally I found Thomas Cook travel agents the best when I bought in September. Also check M&S and post office.
Also check the banks. They normally have poorer rate but frankly unless you are changing a large amount, the difference in exchange rate might not be worth the hassle of spending time shopping around.

Good Luck on your trip

Anyone know if 1.63.57 rate is any good from the high street?

No, you should be getting better than that.

I've been doing a lot of research of late on holiday money and the Post Office and Banks are a rip off!

It is currently over 1.68 meaning you should be at least getting 1.65 for holiday money!

Good luck!

As a High Street rate it's good. In absolute terms, not that good.

Cheque shops sometimes operate a BdeC on the side and give good rates.

No, why would it make a massive difference?? i'm thinking most high streets have the same more or less travel agents/banks etc on them.

Gonna go with Thomas Cook as they guarantee the best rate.
