Hi all, Martin and team,
Just wanted to warn you all if like me you did not know. I went along with Martins info to buy Euros from Travellex a few weeks ago at the bargain price for one hour I paid on line with my credit card and collected the Euros the next day from B'ham airport , no probs.
Just had my credit card statement in and guess what, TSB have charged me over £15 as a "Cash Withdrawal" + daily interest untill paid off. This total whipes out any advantage to buying this way from travellex. So take heed of this before you buy this way

It is one of the '5 facts everyone should know' that appears at the top of the cheap travel money guide.
Still catches people out though - and many debit cards charge the fee (but not the interest) as well0
