Travelex Rip Off

I am off to Warsaw in a fortnight and decided to get my zlottys.
I went to the travelex website and then remembered to go via the Airmiles website link to get free airmiles as well. I couldn't believe that when going via the airmiles link it would cost me £1.30 more for 60 Zloty less and all to get 7 airmiles!
I rang travelex up who after much umming and ahhing said yes I would get less zloty for my £ but I was getting Airmiles! Surely the point is Airmiles are a freebie, a bonus? At least that's what I thought.
The annoying thing is there does not appear to be any information on the website to tell you they are giving you a worse rate because of the airmiles.
Aaaaaahhhh. It makes me angry.

They are not happy because they sponsor the ailing Aussie cricket team.

Same thing happens with the BA link to Travelex."An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind" - Mahatma Gandhi0
