jamesogt   11 #5 Posted July 12, 2012 Travelex - Airport.  The airport is always the worst exchange rate!  I now use the American Express shop in town (by the old Sugg sport) near the Cheese Grater. When I last changed Euro's it was offering 1.22 compared to the Post office's 1.16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Travelex at the airport is always expensive; Travelex in advance via the Web is cheapest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

oinkjames   10 #10 Posted July 12, 2012 The Amex shop is usually the best deal in Sheffield. But, if you dont get charged for using your debit card abroad it could be worth drawing money out when you get to destination airport.
