OK Im off to the US in less than 2 weeks and need to change about £300 into US dollars before I go. Where is the best/cheapest place to change currency and no I dont need one that offers no fee for selling back to them.

And I dont want Travellers cheques or similar - plain and simple cash please.

Simon.

 

Post office! No commission and they'll change it back for free as well. Just watch out though cos the buying rate and selling rate are different!!

:d

Who do you bank with???

I bank with Barclays Premier, part of the service is exchanging money for free. So no commission!!!

You just ring them up tell em what you want and they have it ready for you in a few days to collect!

Couldn't be easier!

 

Natwest - Ill see if they do the same sort of deal.

 

Looks like they do:

If you have a NatWest Student, Graduate, Advantage Gold or Advantage Premier account you can buy your foreign currency without paying commission.

Sorted!
