 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm going to Mayrhofen on Saturday and wondering whether to order Euros online today (cut off 3pm) or to withdraw in one go once out there.
The Post Office and my bank were offering 114 to the pound whereas online is 119. It's a difference of 40-45 euros (or ten pints)
Anyone been recently and can advise?

I've just ordered from travelex to pick up from the airport. Got 1.20 to the pound. Worked out an extra 20euros on my £550 over using ATM.
2014 is the year of the scrimper in my house lol

I withdrew €300 from an ATM in Westendorf over Christmas. With the exchange rate (1.19) and the various transaction and cash fee charges from my bank (first direct) it worked at at an equivalent rate of 1.14. I am off to St Anton at the end of the month and will change £500 cash here in London at 1.20 instead.
As you say, it's only the difference of one night of drinks but it will be like drinking for free!

Mikethemanc, I am intrigued as to how you managed to get 1.20 from travelex today when their rate is 1.18 !!!
I buy all mine from travelex, got 500 last week at 1.17 and tracking it every day as I am waiting to get some more before next weeks trip

Sorry, Correction, i got 1.184. I worked out the cost as:
RBS charges on ATM withdrawl - 2.75% + 2% which is max £5. 2.75% of £550 is £15.12 plus £5 = £20.12 charges on 1.20 rate = 640Euros for my £550
Travelex at 1.184 = 651Euros for my £550.
Not much in it but its better in my pocket and if i was unable to withdraw the lot in Austria i'd have got charged twice
