Going to New York in March- get Dollars now or then?
Hey, I am going on holiday to New York in March and I was wondering, would it be better to get them now or in March- will the exchange rate be better?
Thanks in advance :) |

Thanks in advance :) Here is as good a way to tell as any: flip a coin. |

I'm too lazy to do either, I just use my ATM card when I go away. Seems so quaint now, the idea of swapping your money over before you go.

It might sound convenient to just take money out of ATM but the fees do add up. Its ridiculous. |

Well, I have an Aussie credit card that has no international transaction fee. When I used to travel to the US, I would pay for most stuff using that (it's a Wizard mastercard), then I would use an ATM maybe once or twice to get out whatever cash I needed.

Ah well, what the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve over, as the saying goes.

We were up around $1.67 to the GBP back in December, it's dropped as low as $1.59 in between and is now around $1.62, but it's still fluctuating. |
