travellers checks worse rate?

[Tiggery]

Ive been to town to try and get a decent rate for some dollars and there isnt one :(

I thought travellers checks would be the same rate but theyre even lower? is that always how it is?

[Skywatcher]

should be the same - don't understand that

Thanks skywatcher, nor do I. It was at thomas cook on the high street and she was quite unhelpful and said I was lucky to get the deal she was offering (1.67 on dollars and 1.58 on checks) :confused:

Whenever I have bought from M&S the rate has always been the same for TC's and dollars :confused:

Did the TC rate include the TC purchase fee or was it separate?

Can you check with your bank and see what they offer--just as a comparison?
