I've looked online and it seems that I'm being screwed from every which way till Sunday.

 

Basically, I'm going Vegas in a couple of weeks and need to swap

    When I go abroad I have a Halifax Clarity credit card - it has no charges to use abroad and you get better rates than the currency places!

What dates are you in Vegas buddy? I'm going to be there from July 19 - 23

 

Really? We'll have to have a meet up - I'm there from the 13th to 27th..

Yeh definitely.

 

As for money, are you going to carry that sort of cash around on you? I'm just going to do what I always do and draw out from my card as I go along.

 

Going to San Fran on the 9th, going to Yosemite and then driving down with a mate for a week to LA. Will finish my trip off with four days in Vegas before heading back down to Baja.

Sounds decent, and no idea in all honesty. 

 

I would like some sort of card, but I don't know too much about that to be honest. 

 

I heard that debit cards are really, really poor in america, anyone know if that's true? if not then that'd be perfect!

Pretty sure there's like a travellers cheque style debit card you can get now. Where you get the better exchange rate because you do it before you go and you can draw money at over there as normal

I'll look into that, thanks bud.

 

CurrencyFair looks pretty good on the face of it, getting a lot more than Asda/Tesco which I found was giving me the best rate.

It's not just mine, 20% of it was from the missus.. :huh:

you're not really making me feel any better pal.

7k for two weeks ain't so much after all for two people. It's USA, you have to tip everyone you talk to. :o

although I would find the best rate you can online and go and ask if they can price match, with you changing that much I would of thought they would be interested

Thomas Cooks do some sort of travel card. I'll phone my daughter in the morning (bit late now). She works on their Foreign Exchange desk locally (Hinckley).

Watch this space

 

Really appreciate that, cheers Phoenix - I'll keep my eye out.

I haven't heard of that, the best rate I saw was on that CurrencyFair - which is a great concept - but is purely for changing

Amex?

That's the sponsorship of that lot, isn't it?

The Amex one is just a pre loaded card, it's not an account with a credit limit.
