Hope this has been of help.

I always use website travelmoneymax.co.uk ....... it calculates best rates including all charges etc. They currently have 2.275 today and then do exactly what you've done go in to Thomson and get them to match it so I don't have to do internet ordering or pay delivery Very Happy Very Happy

Always take Stirling and change in resort as I need it. That way you normally better the UK rate and dont have to worry about buy back rates. Clean £20 notes

re: Changing £ to Levi in the Uk.

Hello, I just returned from Borovets on the 21st Jan...i think you are better off to change your money when there as you will get better rates...i changed my money at Samokov Hotel bank situated next to the hotels ski depot... i got 2.29 and commission free. I had changed some money whilst in the uk at thomsons and after negotiation i got 2.20 only.. hope that helps and enjoy your holiday...am still gutted am back Sad

Agree with the above - best to take clean sterling notes, always a better rate in resort + you can change what you need.

re: Changing £ to Levi in the Uk.

The difference from 2.20 and 2.29 is so very very little it is hardly measurable. Confused
