The new Euro Rate - So what is it worth today in 2010

<< < (7/22) > >>

Waspman:
At The Nafsika Hotel (SS) on 18th May 2010 we got 1.16 Euros to the GBP with commission already taken off.  So go and see Spiros.

I posted this last season but thought it might be useful to any newcomers to the forum.
Have you thought of using a credit card for all large purchases.Such as meals ,trips or duty frees.You need a card that charges 0% commission on foreign purchases.The one I use is a mastercard from the post office but other cards are available.
A small number of businesses may charge you 2% to cover their costs but at an exchange rate today of 1.1744 it is well worth it.
If you use for example Barclaycard and many others they charge you 2.75% for the privelege of using your card abroad.This is on top of the 2% the local business may charge you.
 

Waspman:
Nationwide is another 0% commission credit card, but only in Europe, whereas Post Office credit card is worldwide

tonyco1:
Luckily Corfu is in Europe and I have a Nationwide card!! It all helps!

Mikee:
Anyone know what the best rate going in SS at the moment?

Crown Currency offering 1-18 Euros to the £ (with a 10 - 20 day) delivery

I don't think thats worth the risk/wait, as the rate appears to be creeping up at the minute
with even the P.O. offering 1-1665 ?
