Looking at converting about £1500 to the dollar. Thomas Cook were doing a good rate about 2 weeks ago, but don't seem to be doing it any more.

Anyone have any good pointers as to who's doing the best rate?

Travelex pre-order is my favourite at the moment, but I thought I'd put it up to the old faithful on here. You usually come up trumps

Thanks in advance.

post office is usually quite good; no commission i believe.

BuRR

Cheers for that

Travelex is 1.96 (and will match the best rate I can find, apparently)

Post Office is 1.92

Thomas exchange looks like excellent rates . But how do you order your currency ???. No facility on the website to order online ???.

Right . So unless you are unlucky enough to live in London this is totally useless .

I got the best rate out there drawing it on my credit card lol oh and cash points.

$2.08 -£1
That was only last week.

Or are you just playing the money exchange game ?

Just got $1.97 over the old 'net with Travelex. Then got them to match the price by Thomas Exchange of $2 per £1

Chose Travelex as I can pick up from the airport when we get there to fly out.
