US ($) Currency Thread 1 (closed - use thread 2)

photome

I went to the states last month and didnt buy any dollars, done most of my spending on a post office credit card (no transaction fee) and got dollars from atms on nationwide debit card (again no fees) and the rate I was getting was around 1.98.

I know the dollar may go down, but my point is You are better off using either of the above methods than you are buying dollars.

I would buy dollars now who knows what clown will become chancellor.

The Nationwide Flex Account and credit card gives commercial exchange rates with no commission when used abroad. I have just applied for both for my trip to the US in July. The exchange rate today is $1.98 and it was $2 a couple of days ago.

I have read on another forum that Thomas Cook are doing a special on Travellers Cheques and the TC card until close of buisness this saturday in their shops of $2 to £1. Minimum $1,000 If true, this is an excellent rate.
Not advertised on their web site, but ring up one of their branches to confirm

(If this is in the wrong area, mods please move)

Hi just phoned thomas cook , the offer is on until Monday but min spend is £1000 not $1000 excellent deal though!! thanks to o.p, Will take a trip there tommorrow for our spends!!

superdon

oh well, £1000 is probably a bit much, as we dont travel til septemeber. £500 would have been great though. Dont fancy having £1000 worht of TC's lying around.

Anyone know what the dollar is supposed to do over the next few months?
