Thanks for the tips Cant. We go in a few days so probably not ideal to do it now but im going to hang fire for another couple of days to get my euros and see what happens, hopefully the rate will increase slightly more. I might consider the transfer for my next holidays though.

1.186 tonight and wonder if it will get through 1.19 soon.

ive proper jumped the gun last week buying them at 1.15

Looks like there is profit taking happening with the £ down with the euro to 1.172 and down against the dollar. Not sure if the £ has peaked against the euro.

If people are quick crown currencies have still got good rates, sep to nov price 1.1979 1.1825 for july, 1.19 for aug.

think same as you about the profit taking ....dont think has peaked yet....probably a bit more joy over the next 2 weeks....then demand for euro will rise as families teachers and those who holiday in line with long summer school holidays start to buy ...and it will fall back....untill demand lessens again

hi only 9 days untill were off to majorca just thinking about holiday money, probably change about £100 here then take the rest in pounds and change over there having said that i have always found the rate at the resort to be the same or less than home dont think ive ever seen a better rate than ive had back home despite people saying yoy get a better rate at your destination. but ill still only change a little here then the rest as we need it there as it saves messing around changeing it back if we dont spend it all.

so just wondering if anyone knows which high street stores are offering the best rates and if these rates discussed on here-116-117 are these whats been passed on to the buyer? not sure wether to get it on saturday or sunday or wait untill either 1 day next week probably wens after work or wether to nip up before packing my case saturday morning, we go 3am sat night/sun morning.

I see on Compare travel, the euro has dropped down

Ill have a think about it. To purchase online, you need to enter card details and I dont like using my card over the internet despite assurances that nothing bad will happen. They are good exchange rates though, its a shame you cant get them over the counter.

Just to let you know that Thomas Cook will match their internet price in store - just print it off and take it in to the branch - if you don't have a printer then they have a copy of the internet rates in store - Thomas Cook will pretty much pricematch any rate on the highstreet/online just have to ask!

£ back above 1.18 again

£ about to break through 1.19 and its 1.189 at the moment, lets hopes it keeps on going.

hi i went into a couple of places sat, going places offerd 112 to the pound and thompsons offerd 111, i decided ill go into town tomorrow see if can get any better, im changing £100 to tied us over then willl change more as needed over there, i was expecting the rates to be better than this from what ive read here?

most of the rates you see posted on here are internet prices from say crown ect... you would get a good deal from them if you order them now for say in a months time. but if you want them striaght away best deal is buy them on line at travelex think today is 1.14 and pick them up say the next next day. the high street shops will always give you a lower rate then the net

hi got a rate of 1.142 today changed £100 and got 115 euro that was with co-op travel

that was a good deal as 24 hours later co op is down to 112.97

hi....was up to 1.139 again tday....markets closed higher tnight....hopefully monday will see it up above 1.4...as thats when Im off for mine....mondays afternoon tuesday morning seems best times of the week to buy

1.1776 now...

hi all.....got mine today....got 1.1382.....off thomascook online....today I learnt you dont need a credit card to get a better rate....thomascook high st branch were offering 1.1105...so I went on line where they were offering 1.1382....chose the pick up in store option ....then used the search button to find nearest store....then they ask you when you want to pick it up...then how do you want to pay when you pick it up from store...I ticked cash...then gives you a page to print showing all details of rate and amount of euros ect...I printed it off ....took store and they gave me 1.1382 instead of 1.1105...and no commission..............rate will probably go up tommorrow but needed to collect tickets from store and could only go today..... thats the end of worrying about the rate atleaste....and wether my tickets would arrive....so am off come monday .... everybody
