morrow56

Going to buy some Euros today with a Tesco Clubcard Mastercard in a Tesco store

Anyone advise is there will be any additional charges for doing this or will I only pay for the Euros with no extra fees

Thanks in advance

You will pay 2.75% foreign exchange fee (buried in the exchange rate -you won't know it's happening) but the cash advance fee is waived.

Thanks mate - don't think I will bother now

Tesco rates don't seem to be as good as they used to be, i look at them every week when i go shopping and they always seem to be a couple of euros less than our local high street.
Perhaps they think now they're established as currency sellers that people wont notice, like the post office as well.

Our local Tesco's is very good on exchange rates - might be because they are next to a Marks & Spencer that does foreign exchange. Might be worth running a quick comparison locally. Everyone charges an exchange fee, that's how they make money.

I find it very useful to be able to use my Tesco CC to pay for foreig currency, avoids paying a fee for doing that and also avoids having to get cash out for it.

Like you Jane i also use my credit card to get my currency i do have a Tesco one but my Thomas Cook card works on the same principal in TCook and generally are better than Tesco.
