One option is to buy some euros every month. If you spend the same amount in sterling each month then when the rate is good you will get more euros and vice-versa when the rate is poor. This is one way of protecting yourself against a sudden fall in the exchange rate the day you go on holiday. Of course you won't earn any interest from the euros but interest rates are pretty rubbish these days anyway.The
The Post Office card is or has the same useability as a credit card . Difference being it's pre loaded with money before we travel .
My question was about when to buy our Euro . With a normal credit card you pay at the exchange rate on the day you use the card. So no chance of getting the advantages of the current good rates which it seems are not to last much longer.
Some cards give this and take that and so on. All have charges somewhere but none of that part is relevant to the exchange rates..
