Lots of people buy using future contracts. The site is listed at the start of this thread using the tool for buying at the best rates and I have heard of them so no worries there I don`t think. Payment is by bank transfer or cheque but is straight away in that you can`t wait till Feb to pay.

Don`t think it is anything dodgy at all. Just a gamble by us that the rates won`t be better than that come February. Do you think they will be? I don`t.

Having said all that, I have just read on another forum that these companies are not bonded in any way so if they go bust you lose your money!! Don`t know if this is true or not. Can anyone advise??

Thanks for your advice, I'll think I'll wait and keep my fingers crossed for a rise in rates. Don't really want to take a gamble whether a company will still be in business or not and theres no gurantees, especially in this financial climate.

I just received my dollars fron CCE a few days ago, it was well worth using them to get a good rate ($1.90) but i did worry about them having problems in the current climate. So thumbs up from me if you can deal with the waiting.

Hi there, can anyone tell me if there are legal implications about buying and selling currency on ebay? I have a few dollars (1k) to sell and wondered if this was against the law or had other implications

I have seen eBayers sell dollars on ebay before.

Cant see why there should be a problem.

Hi All,

I'm interested in the latest deal from the MGM Grand :-
https://reservations.mgmmirage.com/bookingengine.aspx?host=promo&pid=001&code=INB233&kbid=1162904

In particular I like the look of the Bungalow Suite. I'm going at the end of March & a Bungalow Suite is $908 for 7 days. Seems cheap! Even with a lousy exchange rate.

The main question is : Where are the Bungalow Suites? Are they a long wlk from the main casino? Can somebody give an opinion on this (non-refundable)deal please.

I know the principle is NOT to book non-refundable - but .......?
