    Good Points: Very couteous.

    Bad Points: Very bad currency exchange rates.

    General comments: I've exchanged money before with Thomson and always been relatively happy. So, when I booked a hotel for stopping in on my return from holiday in China, I had no hesitation anout ordering some Hong Kong dollars and Chinese yen. I purchased my currency for £750 thinking all was well. But I was horrified the next day, when I found I could have purchased the same amount of currency elsewhere for £620, a loss of £130. I thought Thomson had made a genuine mistake. But they said "No", I had paid their going exchange rates. And could not do anythig about it.

    I will not use Thomson again for my holiday money. For £503 i received 650 Euros - with a bit of research I could have obtained 685 Euros, so in my eyes I have paid Thomson 35Euros extra - commission?? Thomson rate today for exchanging £ for Euros was 1.2990. By far the worst rate - see comparetravelmoney.com - Thomson advertise 'no commission' but they simply gain by offering poor exchange rates.
