Latest euro rate

[Jo Wissett]

I ended up getting mine last week at 1.165 which is not too bad. I ended up getting at Tui but what was weird was that my two nearby towns which both had a Tui, one of them couldn't come close to matching the rate even though same company! I could have got better online but always nervous of doing this incase they go bust!

I knew it would bloody rise again once I had bought hahah

Typical isn't it Jo !   At least you're all sorted now .......

Hi
Before I used to purchase on line, I used to take a screen shot of online rates and take it to a High Street outlet and ask them to match. Which most used to do.

Hi
Keep reading in the press etc of how we are to benefit with the £'s strength in the Euro Zone this year but the echange rate still continues to fluctuate between 1.16 and 1.17
Today's top on line rate 1.1677 with TravelFX.

Maybe a lot of money is being made by not passing on the gains

I think you're right Geoff.
Looks like Waitrose currency 'sale' was genuine as the rate dropped quite a bit the day after I purchased 👍

We made a big currency mistake. Bought from post office online at good rate but used credit card to pay. Cleared the card right away. Just been charged £48 by card company (Tesco).It's a money transaction hence the charge. I didn't know about this but you live and learn. Back to TUI or Ramsdens next time.
Told kids about it and they wondered why we took cash. They were flabbergasted in fact. Generational thing I suppose?

Interest rates been cut today and the exchange rates gone down....

[Truth]

The rate continues to go down and I still need quite a bit !  Oh well !   Since I purchased my first lot on 15/7 its dropped from 1.17 to about 1.135 now . Hindsight's a wonderful thing but I should have got it all then .

[Eggy]

Interesting.
We transfer £4000 and get e4644 after commision. That's e1.16 but only valid for today.

I will keep an eye out and thanks Geoff for the update.
