[Closed] Best place for Euros at the moment?

Where's got a good exchange rate at the moment and is reliable? Need £200 worth, so not enough for free delivery in most places. Anyone used RationalFX? They seem to be the best so far, but never heard of them so not too keen to use them unless other have had good experiences.

For £200 in euro - the place which requires the least effort, regardless of rate (within reason).

You could spend 2 hours searching for the best rate in order to save £2

I've got 20 euro note in my wallet- how much would I get if I exchanged it?? That can buy me beers tonight in town.

Sainsburys. Order online and pick up in store.

Use Travelex online and collect at the airport.

Always the best rate for me when I've checked (note if you don't pre-order the Travelex rate at the airport is far lower than online)

Other than that Post Office/M&S are usually the best of the easy access...or your bank.

Why not just stick your debit card into an ATM once you reach your destination (assuming you don't need the money in the UK)?

Minimal effort and for £200 i'm only losing a few quid over the better deals/methods.

Money is pretty tight so saving a few quid is worth it IMO.

Where you going to?
We go to Lanzarote a few times per year and noticed that the local spot prices are better than the ones back here, probably the same for a lot of resorts.
Just make sure you count everything

otherwise ...........
