I use a caxton fx visa eurocard,exchange rate I received on Friday was 1.15 plus no ATM withdrawal charges.Easy just to transfer funds from your bank account to the card and easy to keep track of your spending.

. Rather spoils the enjoyment of evening cocktails on the Illa d'Or terrace. Wait till your back home and the nights start drawing in. Fingers crossed enough time then to sort the plastic card things out before decisions on next years visit have to be made.

The wife and I have now hit the stage where we can say "next month we will be in PP", so we are starting to look at the GBP to Euro exchange rate to try and get the best deal possible.

I was wondering what deals were happening locally in PP to see if its best waiting till we are there or shopping around locally in the UK first. Can anyone advise on what the local exchange rate is please.

Cheers

Kev

I think the exchange rates are all very similar at the minute......unless you are changing mega money

A slight variation here and there is not really going to make much difference to the normal traveller and it doesn't matter where you go you are always going to see a better rate somewhere else afterwards aren't you.....it's sods law

If the rate goes up, say from 1.12 to 1.13 E to the pound (approx. as it is about now) you need to change about £900 (about 1000E) to get an extra 10E (about £9). This is just an indication - IF I have got my maths right. Hard to believe it went up to 1.25E to the pound (tourist rate) for a few days during last winter!
Never a good time to buy unless you are an Astrologer or a Banker and even they get it wrong most of the time! Good luck, you'll just have to 'go-for-it' soon.

I got 1.1696 on Saturday when I put euros on a prepaid card for my son

Wish I had got mine then too

We always manage to time it wrong, and end up getting a less than great exchange rate. Although most Bureau de Change will at least match comparative rates, if not better them with a little bartering !

CathB · #**100** 19-09-2013, 18:51

Local travel agents offering 1.17 and this is being bettered by Ramsdens and another place..getting 1.173

sws97sdg · #**101** 20-09-2013, 06:33

Wow, that's even better!

The Visa exchange rate is at this today, also great!!

1 POUND STERLING = 1.186950 EURO

sws97sdg · #**103** 24-12-2013, 14:57

Not much change in the rate, 1.159 today just in town! Not bad I suppose!

I managed to get around 1.189 few weeks ago and I received a £5 gift voucher to spend in Debenhams, I checked on money supermarket for the best rate and you had to print off a voucher to take with you to Debenhams, plus you received a higher rate if you were a Debenhams card holder. Its worth checking the comparison sites. Once when we visited a few years back we received less than 1 euro to the pound so for it to be back at nearly 1.20 makes a big difference.

1.176 today in town, going the right way

Euro visa exchange rate is 1.21 today, even better for cash withdrawals overseas
