So what is the euro going to do then ?

[AnyFucker]

Time to start getting the euros now or wait until nearer hols in July (wrt the exchange rate)

Any body else thinking about this yet ?

I'm buying now. Literally now. I've just put £500 on my Euro card for the summer.

what exchage rate you got ?

erm, and what's a Euro card ?

I got 1.34. It's a card that you load up with euros, then use as a debit card in Europe (I'm sure it's got a generic name that I can't remember). Ours is an ICE travel money card.

Buy now. It has already risen slightly.
I see it only going one way.

we usually take a couple of hundred euros in cash and use our usual debit/cash card to take out more cash as needed

I know that isn't the best and safest way though

am not good at this stuff....I miss traveller's cheques

Don't take out more cash then you normally do then. It is not worth the risk on the amount it will rise. Most UK banks let you open a Euro account now.

Hi AF. We're in Europe at the moment and put euros onto a Thomas Cook cash card for a few weeks before we travelled as the rate has been so good. The cash card is like a debit card, except you have to put the money on it before you spend it. Handy if you don't want to take too much cash but also handy if you want to put money on it before you go whilst the rate is good.

Am gonna do that, ilmt

are you having a lovely time ?

Fabulous, thank you AF ??

that's good

Euro has rallied against sterling in the last week. About 10 days ago the rate was nudging 1.40.

My treasury manager at work though thinks the euro will weaken again so I am holding fire for a bit longer.

I'm not sure what to do. I need to get about £800 worth for July, but the rate seems to be falling. We would have been 20 euros better off if I done it last week.

I have an asda travel card so I just load that up and there is no fee for withdrawals abroad.

Don't tell me that, 66 !

grr, have I missed the boat ?

where was my email from Martin Fecking Lewis ?

there's a bit from Martin about this and what's recommended to buy, though of course he cant tell us when to buy in case it actually goes up more

sorry also meant to say theres a bit about travel money cards, and with some of them you can get extra money if you open them with more than £500-700 on them
