Check out Martin's Travel Money Maximiser, it will compare the best rates for you.
When you have found the best rate, order your currency online from Travelex, then email them to tell them you have found it cheaper, and they'll send you a cheque for the difference!Gone ... or have I?0 -

Something along the lines of:
Order Number xxxx
I have just ordered £x worth of US dollars. However, I have found dollars at the better rate of $1.98:£1 with Thomas Exchange Global. I would be grateful if you could credit me the difference.

Pazza hasn't got any bank cards, see their other thread.
That's a point, how are you planning to pay for your currency, Pazza? xGone ... or have I?0 -
when did you open your nationwide account? I had my card through about 1 week after I opened my account - v fast service.Bern :j0

If you can't buy in advance with a card, you'd be best off using the Travel Money Maximiser to see where you can collect for payment with cash, e.g. M&S in-store.0
