God bless America

Thank you Mr Trump for causing a slide in the $US - get ready chaps for a potential win on the exchange rate............

 

[spoons]

Ha ha - I hadnt noticed that. Off to ebay now

What's the PayPal rate today then? Been at a painful 1.19 for a while...

I knew I should have converted my USD balance the other day..while I'm happy the pound is gaining some ground against the dollar it's painful watching my £'s slip away day by day :!:

The GBP climbs 5% in 48 hours and bugger all on the BBC website. Goddam media informing you about what they WANT you to know about rather than what you want to know about. Good news doesn't sell, I guess.

It will get better for us as well I reckon, seen as he's hell bent on bankrupting America.

 

[stormcab]

Haha, it's only 1.26 to the pound. Mid 2014 it was 1.70.

I was thinking when it gets to 1.50 then we're talking! :lol:

 

[robpmarsh]

If it ever gets to 1.50 I'm changing up my cash for Celebration!

....can't see it happening though

It's a petty PayPal still offers **** exchange rate !!

Top tip for anyone going.

If the rate gets high, book currency with Tesco. You can cancel it up to 24 hours before with no penalty. You can lock the rate, so if you think it's hit it's high, lock the currency in. If it then goes up, cancel and reorder but if it goes down you still have the locked up high rate with Tesco.

I always make sure I tick the box so I pay using my banks exchange rate for that reason. It might only be a few cents sometimes but its always better and every bit helps

The best bit of advice I've read so far this year. Not just about Celebration but a handy tip for all travel.
Nice one Ben

Top tip No2:

When I'm buying stuff from the States through Paypal I pay on credit card rather than using the PP balance and use the credit card suppliers rates rather than Paypals. It normally works out at least a cent better off, Paypal gives you the option to do this.

Bend top travel tip number 2. Get yourself something like a Halifax clarity credit card. It gives a perfect exchange rate (the bank rate on the day) and has no commission and no fees. It is hands down the cheapest way to transfer currency.
