    I have used CCE 3 times and the currency was delivered each time on the date they said by Royal Mail Special Delivery. I would certainly use them again.

    Seriously, I would have bought when it was $2 to £. Britain's economy is expected to slow next year and the £ is going to fall. It's all to do with the country's interest rates and if the economy is slowing you can experience interest rates to depreciate in line with them.

    I'm going to the USA at the end of Feb and at the moment the rate seems to be getting worse nearly every day.
    Does anyone have any idea as to if will get better if I wait, or is it likely to get worse?
    Thank you

    I'm wondering the same thing and I don't go to the US till November. Pretty worried about the rate of the dollar dropping though.
    Can anyone advise on whether it would be best to buy now or wait till later in the year?

    If anyone could do that they'd be very rich!!

    I've decided to wait to get mine. No point in kicking yourself if the rate changes for the worse because it could easily have gone the other way.

    I know for a fact that the rate will plummet tomorrow and keep falling so would advise you to buy now.
