Holiday Money brexit

[Captain Trips]

I'm off to the States in November after the Brexit deadline. What are people's thoughts on when to get currency? Anyone else off abroad after deadline? What you doing?

[Hibbyradge]

I'm going to Australia in November.

I'll wait till October before deciding whether or not to buy dollars in advance.

If there's any chance of a deal, the £ will strengthen. If not, it's bound to head south.

I use the Halifax Clarity card.

No fees even for cash withdrawals, and full commercial exchange rates.

Currently offering £20 cashback, ends Thursday 29th.

You'd make good money if you knew what will happen, so I wouldn't expect to get great advice on here. I'd say just buy when you need it and don't worry too much about it.

Debenhams offer a £5 voucher with every exchange over £20. If you wanted to play the long game, and if you shop in Debenhams, then exchange £20+ every time you shop there and build up your dollars. Spreads out the currency movement risk and if it works against you you'll still have gained from the vouchers.
