Euro Buy back

in Flights, currency & car hire
Went abroad a few years back and bought currency from sainsburys. Paid something like £3.99 and when I came back they bought the unused currency back at the same rate I bought it.

We have a €300 security deposit to pay that will be returned when we leave, so I know I will be returning with at least €300.

I can't seem to find the option on the website now. Although it does still show on money.co.ul=k

Anyone know if anyone still offer guaranteed buy back rates?

    Why not ask if they will take the deposit in Pounds?

    That's what I did in Croatia recently - they asked for €500, I asked if I could give them Pounds instead, and they agreed.

    looks like Sainsburys have done away with the buy-back option since they have changed over to sainsburys bank
    i know Asda so it for £3.99 and you got 45days to sell it back at rate you bought it for
    as far as i know Tesco dont offer the service

    Thomson/First Choice shops guarantee buy-back for up to £200 worth of euros - think its about £3.95. Did it earlier this month.
