Asda travel money - spring rate sale problems

cruisers

I went on ASDA travel money site last week and they were offering 1.16 euros to GBP, but there was a message on their website stating they were holding a spring rate sale from 8.00am 14/05/13 to 17.00 17/05/13. So I thought I'd hold off ordering my currency and get it at a better rate in the sale - went on site today before sale started and their rate was advertised as 1.1542, went back on at just after 8.00 and it wouldn't accept e mail orders so I phoned them up and rate in the sale is ...... 1.1515!!!!!!!
Needless to say I went to ICE and got 1.1609.
BEWARE!!:mad:

I went into my local Thomsons for my travel money, showed them the best deal that I could get with MSE page and they matched it. Great service and great savings.

Got just under 1.20 a couple of days ago with my Metro Bank card.

EUR 40.00@1.19331742 to be precise, no charges no fees, no p*ssing about
I just put the card in the ATM and out came the dosh.

Asda be a better idea because every little helps.

I got 1.55 dollars to the pound last week on my clarity card in the USA compared to a best rate of 1.51 from ICE.

same as BOB it was so simple using an ATM

We changed a fair bit with one of the waiters in Cyprus last year. He was planning on visiting the UK and his buy rate for £s was about 1.27 so we ended up doing a deal at 1.225 . Visa rate at the time was 1.18
