Exchanging left over holiday money back into sterling.

A question about : Exchanging left over holiday money back into sterling.

Hello.

iv got back from my holiday and have brought back 125 euros back with me, I purchased my euros from a local Thomas cook store, how does it work swapping back into pounds?

Is it as simple as purchasing holiday money, like turning up with the euros and asking to swap for sterling and just take my passport?

If I remember correctly a lady on holiday told me to keep hold of my receipt and take that along with the left over holiday money, but can't remember why she said this?

cheers dudes and dudetts

Best answers:

• as an example if you bought from Asda yesterday 125 euros would cost you Ј100.
  you could walk in there today and sell your 125 euros for just over Ј80.
  If you have your receipt they may have given you a gteed value on return so may be more than Ј80
  alternatives are keep till next time or sell to a friend for Ј95 ish
• The buy back rates are usually very unpreferencial as this is the main way foreign exchange companies make their money. As Photome said, you are better off keeping them for another holiday or selling them to someone who is going to Europe soon for around the mid way point of the buy and sell rates.
