Exchange Rates

Where is the best place to see exchange rate comparsions? I am going to the states later on in the year and i was going to change euros into dollars now before the dollar strenghtens in value. Who usually gives the best deals?

Go the Arrivals at the airport and buy the dollars off the people arriving off the US flights.

Start an account with XE.com. It is a painfull process but they give the best rates.

you'll get a good rate if you use your credit card for purchases over there. also get a phone card in any store (eg 7/11) great value on calls home (about 7c a minute)

Quite the reverse ziggy. you been suckered in by the advertisments and the no commission banners.

What it fails to inform you is the rate they offer is usually far from the best in the market place, also includes a wee bit of what would have been "lost" commission and a wee bit of profit.


Believe it or not, Marks and Spencers are very competitive. I hadnt realised that they offered a currency exchange service until a few years ago.
