Good rate

Good rate. Poor process. I did not get a confirmation email to tell me what I had ordered, nor an email telling me that it was ready to be collected. Fortunately, I had noted the transaction reference and having called JLP Money they were able to tell me that it was in store and available for collection.

Good experience

Good experience - just a lot of 50 euro notes - would have been good to have more denominations included.

My own mistake but I paid on a credit…

My own mistake but I paid on a credit card for my foreign currency order online. This means I was charged a fee by John Lewis and also by my bank. It would be great if a reminder message could be displayed at point of payment, to warn of this. I appreciate it is in the ts & Cs, but its easy to miss.

Hi Laura, thanks for using our services. John Lewis do not charge you extra to pay by credit card, some card issuers charge additional fees for foreign currency exchange payments. At payment stage, the following message appears on our site "Your credit card provider might charge you a cash advance fee for this transaction" We would always recommend that a customer checks with their bank first before purchasing travel money. This way you ensure you are aware of any fee prior to completing the transaction. ^Alan
