Lambo Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Just a heads up for an offer we found today in Debenhams. Buy £50 worth of any foreign currency and get a £5 voucher to spend in store the same day, £20 minimum spend. You can repeat weekly. So any of you travelling abroad this year and also need/want some new clothes, nice little bonus there, cheers, Lambos. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

milkymarsh Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Agree. Current exchange rate is: And on money supermarket the rates are slightly better. Best is Halifax clarity for non direct currency exchange and 1. 15 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snooks Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 We get ours from Thomas Cook in the town rate today is £1. 1403 no charges.

Lambo Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 We usually buy euros over a period of time, to hedge our bets. A few weeks ago got 1. 17 at Tesco, today got 1. 148 at Debenhams plus 2 £5 vouchers to use today on our holiday clothes, ;} . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PR1 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 We emptied the various places we put coinage yesterday. I only ever carry notes or cards! Over £200. Thinking of going to the Post office as their rate looked reasonable ! Quote 2019 Bailey Platinum (640) Phoenix from Chipping Sodbury caravans, towed by our 2017 my Discovery Sport!

klyne Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We invariably have some euro's left over from the previous trip so tend now to wait until we get to Europe before buying more, usually with our Halifax Clarity Card, usually works out cheaper than buying in the UK.

I book on line and OH goes straight down and pick them up cheaper that way. snooks It does rather depend on how far town is though-for us its a 34 mile round trip, a couple of hours of time and parking charges. We have used a Caxton card for a few years and on our last trip to Italy we were using Euros loaded at 1. 4 to the pound the previous year. With all the uncertainty at the moment there has not been any time at which I have felt it was worth loading up the Caxton but its there if the opportunity arises. Now we tend to just keep a few euros on it, to pay for ACSI subscriptions and the like, and use our Nationwide debit card for free cash withdrawals abroad and keep enough cash back to last a couple of days on the next trip.

KontikiKid Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 A £5 voucher with a £50 order is excellent. Ten per cent. 1. 13 effectively 1. 24 "overall", assuming you shop at Debenhams. Thank you, as they say "the difference, is Debenhams". Love the shop. At one point on Facebook, my name was Debenham, interestingly, one of the least common surnames in the UK.
