You get a hell of a good deal for cash in those little exchange places outside Paddington and on the Edgware Rd. |  |

Not being cryptic my friend, just asking because I couldn't get anything near 1.42 Euro to the pound 18 months ago. |  |

Watch yourself with the Halifax card. They used to be one of the worst for identity fraud and absolutely the worst for sorting it out. This is from their own internal stats that I was shown by an ex employee a few years ago. Things may have changed. |
I had a couple of fraudulent charges on mine some years ago but in fairness Halifax were on to it immediately and reimbursed the lot. They were transactions "up North", where I hadn't been, and they were all paid by card swipe, not PIN - I didn't even know you could pay without the PIN (except online of course). I don't know if I'd class that as identity fraud though. |  | | |

Excellent - then you cannot fail!
The only thing to be aware of (and I may be teaching you to suck eggs) is that if you use it to withdraw cash abroad, whilst you'll get a good rate, interest is charged from the day you make the withdrawal. So what I do is
1. withdraw as little as possible
2. pay with the card wherever possible
3. pay in euros (or whatever) if you're offered the choice of euros or sterling
4. only withdraw cash when I need it (not one big lump at the start of my holiday)
5. if I made any cash withdrawals, pay off the entire balance (not just the statement balance) as soon as I get home (there'll be some interest but it's normally minimal).
Apologies if you already knew all that. |
No worries, Thanks. |  |

I wasn't sure if Halifax would be funny if you paid off a cash withdrawal immediately, especially if you made multiple withdrawals, so I just pay when I get home. I know they don't like you pre-loading your credit before you go - that's against their T&Cs apparently. Wouldn't want to tick them off - I like my Clarity card. |
That is correct otherwise I would pre load it,I've had the card for years and never been troubled by halifax regarding paying it off immediately.
British financial institutions are scandalous in the rates offered on domestic FX sometimes with a pitch (buying to selling rate) of around 20%.But so many people are clueless and just go with the flow and accept it. |  |

I have two credit cards for foreign use a Halifax Clarity card and a Santander Zero card both give excellent exchange rates and no fees. I have used all over the world with no issue.
I only take about £100 of local currency which I rarely spend as I put everything on the card and clear it on return.
Most bars these days take credit card payments for drinks no problem. |  |

You get a far better exchange rate if you transfer whilst abroad, were being royally fleeced here in the UK by banks when it comes to foreign currency. |
That is very true. | | | |

DEBENHAMS
There is money to be made!
I have a little scheme going folks.
Change a minimum £50 into Euros, or any other currency. Debenhams give you a £5 gift card to be spent on purchases of £20 or more. So youcan gain a fiver, 10% on your £50.
Also if you do moneyback with them after your holiday, and get it put on a gift card, they add 20%. So if you return £100 you get £120 back.
Just buy stuff in their sale which is already reduced.
As long as the spend is in their store you are Quid's in. |  |

The voucher must be spent on the day of issue and its limited to one voucher per person per week.
By the time you've gone there,taken the crap rate,then found something over £20 which you probably did not want just to get to get £5 off it it's hardly worth it. | |
