    Another knee bender here. The buy / sell rates of currency are rarely favourable



    at nearly 10% I think that is a bit of an understatment!luci said:
    Another knee bender here. The buy / sell rates of currency are rarely favourable if you use the likes of Asda for a currency card. The sell back rate is always much lower than the buy rate. This can be avoided by getting one of the credit cards with perfect rates and no loading, but I get the impression you either can't, or don't want, get one of those.
    A credit card, credit is the oppersite of debit right. oh I dont understand it really
    I mean dose debit card not mean that you are in det. because you have paid for the funds on that card all ready
    Where credit mean that you have paid for said funds all ready but i though a credit card you owned the card holder the money and had to pay it back later
    Or are they just inverting things again to confuse us from there end game? ie along the line of all money is fake! and is backed by nothing

    How is it a scam?  Do you think supermarkets buy products at the same price they sell them to customers?  If they do how do they make a profit?  Money is no different, it's a product with margins when buying and selling.

    Quick suggestion - if you don't trust conventional banking systems, don't hang out on a "savings and investments" forum
