Its annoying becuase i booked directly with the hotel i am staying in! they don't take the money until i check in and its gonna cost me a lot more now then when i actually booked it if you compared the dollar then! i only hope it does not get much worse for us this coming week before our holidays!!
If it's that big an issue you can buy currency 'forward' through your bank. In other words you can enter into a contract to buy a certain amount of currency on a given date, or between given dates. The rate will be set now.
Lisa - I'm glad I took your tip and got mine from TTT moneycorp last weekend ( 1.56 )
I only wish now that I'd got more. I only got half of my spending money, just in case it went up even more.
Now I'm going to hang fire and see how it goes.
I went and got £500 yesterday at $1.47 from the post office its still better than when i went two years ago.I will wait until next month to get the rest of my spending money lets just hope the rate goes up a bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!going on the 14tn of september counting the days.
I'm really chuffed. I got 1.53 from currency express for my travellers cheques and currency. I got all that I need as well. Good excuse to go on a spending spree when we get there
