Thanks Lisa I'll give them a ring to find out about delivery etc.

I've just read on another site that Thomas cook has a promotion on this weekend. What it is I don't know,but a couple of weeks ago they had quite a good one on where they were giving away free dollars. It might be worth phoning them aswell.

Ordered my T.Cs
I've just phoned TTT and put my order in. Todays rate is 1.56, so after the 1.75 handling charge, I'm getting 1.5327. Not bad is it.

The bloke said they're not changing their rate until Monday.
They will deliver !
As soon as my cheque clears, the dollars will be sent recorded delivery, and he will hold todays rate for me

119 to go

PS : Thanks for the tip Lisa

Hi all

we got a great deal from Marks & Spencer. Got them delivered free of charge next day, but best of all they were charged to our storecard and didn't have to pay for it till we came back from WDW.

Luv Audrey xxxxxxxx

Audrey,

What rate did you get from M&S???

I haven't actually sorted mine out yet but I'll have to get onto them over the weekend.

BTW - Must say thanks to whoever it was who actually brought TTT Moneycorp to my attention as I'd never heard of them before. Cheers!!

Just back from Lakeside and i checked the rate at the AMEX shop and Thomas cook.

AMEX have a board outside with the rate clearly showing as 1.5097
Thomas cook have no board and you have to ask the rate which is a terrible 1.47.

Here is a good link to see the interbank rate for the pound against the $. http://www.forexdirectory.net/gbp.html

Hi Lisa

We went in easter when rate was lower, but at the time it was 1 of the best rates(better than the Post office rates). Just give them a phone and they tell you the rate that day.

There are no commission charges and you get them delivered free for amounts over £500.

Hope this helps Audrey xxxxxxxxx
