[tonyco1]

Hi Jimbo
I assume you have used Best Currency? 
I was thinking of doing so as their rate is most favourable but I am a little reluctant to part with my hard earned as I have not heard of them before.  I trust they are legit?
Cheers

Excellent service. They even sent an email with a two hour delivery window (09:05 to 11:05). Post Office didn't like that exactitude, and delivered money at 07:45...

Notes appear to be genuine - have mutated into Mythos and mousakas without problems!

Jimbo, did they charge for delivery, I recall seeing a £5 charge somewhere on their site, and if that is so then it negates their excellent euro rate.

[Jimbo]

Yes - £5 for up to £2,500 pounds. Buying £1,000 worth made it very competitive.

Rate today in San Stef Travel is 1.19 (minus 2% commission)

Sounds like u are having a good time Jimbo.
We are not going until August 20th but made the decision to buy some Euro's on Friday whilst the rate is good.  Thomsons on the High Street store for £1000 the rate was 1.17 with no comission to pay. If it gets even better I will go and buy some more if not will wait until we get to SS to stock up.

[Jimbo]

I'll just pop next door(ish) and look at the SS Travel rate..... back now - it's 1.18 this morning.

Having a great time. The weather was iffy last week, but it's fabulous. 35 degrees or so all week.

hi,
i reserved my euros online at thomas cook, for store pick up / collection. (there is an option which says buy instore)

this way you get the online rate which is better, rather than the rate they are offering instore. they were offering 1.1975 last week so keep an eye on it.

today their online rate is 1.1743, so £1004.85 gets you 1180 euros.

Rang Thomsons today to see what the rate was and its gone back down to 1.10 if you buy over £300 then you get 1.13,can,t decide to risk that or to wait untill we arrive in SS. Does anybody know what the rate is there at the moment. Thanks

Euro rate varied from 1-18 .. 1-20 (less 2% commission) during the whole 2 weeks

I have to say SS Travel were offering the lowest rates almost every time I looked

Thanks Mikee thats better than here at the moment, think I will wait a while longer and see if it goes up
