jgcomp Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Ive used M&S before, their rates were good when I used them last... get some money before you travel, and never at an airport where they rack up the rates. Saying that I usually get some beforehand and usually draw cash out at an ATM once abroad is I need more, as that seems to work out better then using a forex once abroad.

martss Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I don't know why people keep suggesting M&S as the best, the eurochange shop is ALWAYS better than M&S. I've just got mine from Sainsburys, going to Tenerife on Friday, the rate there has always been two or three cents better than here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Ralge Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Not so sure whether this is true for Egyptian Pounds alone but my recent experience (last two weeks) = Thomas Cook £1 bought LE 8.2, M&S 8.7 (same day, minutes apart). In-resort a few days later 9.5. One purchase on a card (albeit with a flat rate charge of £1.99 on top) used an exchange rate of almost 10.

Rupert_Baehr Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 just a quick question.is it better to change my money in spain then here at the minute.and does anyone know where the best rate is at the minute.thankyou Exchange rate (at 09:15 your time) 1.00 GBP buys 1.11 EUR. Check with the post office, your bank, M&S and check online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Ive used M&S before, their rates were good when I used them last... They're good if you can avoid selling money back to them because they don't have a buy-back guarantee. Euros I normally keep for the next holiday, but I sold back CZK Kč and lost about 20% on it. I know that is how they make their margins but it was still a little steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
