Euros
« on: June 19, 2007, 01:50:04 PM »
Hi all

I am going to get my travellers cheques and some euros this week.  I know Marks and Spencer usually have a good exchange rate.  Does anyone know their rates or anybody else who are giving good rates.

Any advice is much appreciated.

thanks
Amanda

I got mine from M&S a few weeks ago and they gave me 1.43. When I checked the same day with the Post Office, they were only giving 1.40 so I reckon M&S are as good as it gets......

P.S. I sometimes think it's the luck of the draw on the day as of course the rates are changing all the time. good luck!

That sounds much better.  I think we will get a few to tide us over for a meal etc. when we get there and get the rest later on.  I dont mind the PO for a few euros as its more convenient and we leave on Monday.  I can remember when it was 1.75 years ago, gradually its come down over the years as you would expect.
