Brexit (article 50) and currency

Ningaloo

All I can say is that we luckily did a Road trip around the US last year. We used our Clarity card. We were in the US for the 5 weeks leading up to the referendum and received beneficial exchange rates @$1.50. We flew home the morning of the result.

I calculated that the same holiday spending (hotels, petrol, food etc) on the Credit Card, at todays exchange rate, would be just over £1000 more.

I am glad now we went when we did with hindsight.


My advice is go on holiday and have a great time. Forget about the exchange rate. It wont stay in your memory very long compared to the memories you will make out there.

Well, as a Remain supporter I have no doubt that the pound was overvalued. I suspect that it still is.

Well, all I can say is that from a personal point of view I really hope you're wrong. The fall in the pound has hit me hard enough as it is.
