    I take it this means the " sale " rate will apply to orders placed online between 4-5 pm (euros) today? For delivery or collection I wonder??

    I rang travelex half hr ago and online rate was 1.1673 ( but you need to give 4 hrs advance notice for collection , and
    1.0646 for collecting just there and then( no pr e - order)

    I'm due to get £2200 worth of dollars so will wait until tomorrow to buy them. Does anyone know if these sale rates apply to the travel cards they do, or is it just currency?
