Well, the store is very local to me, which is a plus. The rate is fairly competitive, which is always good. Collection is a very easy process, once the email confirmation comes to the inbox. Take my p... See more

Fast efficient service. Decent rate. Didn’t order as only getting euros and in stock. Convenient to just call in while out shopping in Trafford Centre

This is the first time I have ordered currency from John Lewis
This is the first time I have ordered currency from John Lewis. It was a seem less experience from ordering and collection from my local Waitrose. I would definitely order currency online again.

Great to hear Sharon, and we appreciate your feedback. ^Gina
Ludicrously low credit limit.
Despite years of responsible use, making payments often to avoid going over the credit limit, the limit is still annoyingly low.
Response to reply:
The website only offers a chatbot. I don't use these as they are invariably dumb and useless!
To expand: my wife was a JL customer and took out this card, with me as a second user. We both have used and would like to use it. The credit limit was initially based and remains so, on her pension income only. Requests to update it as appropriate for our《joint 》income fell on deaf ears. So we have to use other cards.

The rate wasn’t what it as advertised online. I receive just over e120 to the pound instead of the. E112 on the internet before I left home. The lady said the rate wasn’t the online rate and they were trying to persuade customers to go online. She was complaining to her boss that she needed a break but they only opened at 10 and I was there at 10,30. She counted the money out in little piles all over the place and then they were getting mixed up. Was a bit of a mess and I wouldn’t use John Lewis money again to be honest.

Amanda was very helpful
Amanda was very helpful, pointing out an offer on travel money which I was not aware of. The whole process was quick, smooth, pleasant and efficient.

Simple online purchase of Euros
Our online purchase of Euros from JL was a very simple and straightforward process, made even better with a competitive exchange rate. We selected collection from our local Waitrose store, where it arrived on time a few days later. Here all we had to do was show photo ID, to receive our holiday money for Ireland. It was an excellent service which I recommend.
