It sounds as though I work for them ,I dont I just want people to get the best deal we get so ripped off at the airports.
I don't know why but the way you say "no questions asked" always makes me think this is well shady

(of course I know it isn't, just wish there was an ICE near us offering 1.26)

Just checked, what you do is go to ICE on the internet & print off the coupon which gives you the rate, they honour that rate that day.It is always in the top 2 in the UK.

Err, apologies mwc, wasn't intending to be critical of your good self. Just sort of making the point (badly) no one has any real idea/inside info which way exchange rates will move - probably not even the bankers!- but plenty of opinions.
