Best place to get dollars at the mo
As the title says!
I was going to get them from the Seamans Mission at work but they haven’t got any due to someone collecting $3000 tomorrow:-/ So, where is best? We go in 2 weeks, we've got credit and debit cards but its good to have some cash, I’m looking to change £400. Google suggests debenhams is the best, bizarrely! Would waiting a week improve the rate or should i just say to hell with it and buy them tomorrow?

I changed £500 cash the other day and the best rate I could find was John Lewis. They deliver or you can pick up from your local Waitrose if you don’t have a JL nearby

The new PM is announced on the 23rd of this month and that may affect the rate, but I doubt by very much if anything, so you could wait unti then, but I have no inside information as to if it will positively or negatively affect the exchange rate so you have to make the decision to buy before of after the new PM is announced.

Last few times I have changed currency Debenhams and Morrison’s have been the best. Debenhams rate is slightly better if you have a credit card with them and you can pay when you get the bill with no extra fees.

I got mine from John Lewis recently. Ordered them on line and picked them up at my local Waitrose a couple of days later. There is a minimum order of £500 though.

There is a ATM in the baggage hall in MCO. So long as your debit card is one of the "zero charge" ones, that will be your best place to get dollars (even if the ATM charges you)
So long as you are happy waiting until you get to MCO to get the cash |

I've been keeping an eye on bothe the € and $ rates and the consistent best prices for me are pre-orders at the Ebbsfleet Itnl Station Bureau de change or pre-orders at Moneycorp at the airports |

We ordered £1000 from John Lewis the other day there, picking them up this week. Just keeping an eye on FairFX at the moment deciding when to top up our card!
