Buy travel currency to cash in

THOSE planning a holiday this month could save up to 10% by organising their travel money in advance.

Buying $1000 at an ICE airport bureau would cost £714, but users of the Norwich & Peterborough Gold Classic debit card would only pay £640. Anyone who has the Sainsbury's Gold credit card would save £94 on buying €1000 at the airport from ICE, paying £837 instead of £931. Even pre-ordering yourself from the same firm will save money – ICE for instance itself offers a £70 saving on $1000 if you buy online and collect yourself from certain outlets.
