Question by BH2K: Whats the best way to convert dollars into GBP for vacation?
Ill be visiting the UK soon and wanted to know whats the best way to convert my money to pounds. Ill need to take a train when i get into london to reach my destination so i think illl need the money to pay for the faire when I get off the plane. some people said do it at a post office in the UK, some said take it to my bank before i leave, some said use my debit card for safety but is that reliable?

if you use a debit or credit card you’ll get charged a fee for using it internationally (based of seeing people’s expense reports through my job)…

take it to your bank, they will give you a better exchange fee (or none) than the UK will once you get over there.

What is the best way to convert USD to Euros for spending money in Amsterdam?

Question by PaulN: What is the best way to convert USD to Euros for spending money in Amsterdam?
Are there shops and restaurants that would take my Wachovia Visa debit/credit card as payment and withdraw USD that they convert to euros? I don’t want to have to walk around with alot of cash there. If I must withdraw cash, is it best to do it here or there? I’d imagine all of these things incur some kind of fee.

Answer by kittysue2000
Check with your bank what sort of transaction fee they charge for intl transactions as well as withdrawals. That will help you decide if it’s better to take out a lot of money at once, or just charge all of your expenses
