    Swindon, THOMSON Agency
    I wanted to buy $200 and they said it would be around 129 pounds. (when midmarket exchange rate was 1.8 $/£. Then I was asked for 133 pounds, because they said for £3.5 if I didn't need all the money they would exchange them back for the same rate when I get back.

    In 2 weeks I went back with the whole amount (I just used my VISA card because my bank gave me a better rate), and they said I have to pay the £3.50 for the Buy Back Guarantee again. When I said that I am pretty sure I won't want to change the pounds back to dollars, they said they charge this for all exchanges?!?!?!??? Conclusion, I won't recommend them to anyone.

    Thomson holidays foreign exchange may be good for euros and us dollars but DO NOT use them for other currencies. I have purchased a selection of far east monies and found their exchange rates are on average 11% worse,costing me in the order of £170 more than necessary.

    I have just exchanged £200 sterling into egyptian pounds at Thomson where we booked our holiday and am miffed at the exchange rate of 7.2 whereas I was told it was 8.2 over the weekend, when I arranged to go to the shop on another day to collect, I was also told that there could be a three day wait if the curreny was not avaliable. After ringing the shop after I left I checked the exchange rate and both post office and local other holiday companies were offering a better rate Thomson staff ...

    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 " ...

    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.
