How To Exchange Currency For Travel - EASY

AAA Currency Exchange -- ohiovalley.aaa...
TravelX Currency Exchange -- www.travelex.com
When traveling internationally it is very important that you bring along the correct currency. When in doubt about what type of currency you will need, I recommend consulting your local AAA. The process of converting your money to another form of currency is actually a lot simpler and easier than you might think. What do you think?

I think this may be a much better option than going to the country first, I wanna arrive there with the currency in hand lol

[@JohnnieV]

Yes. AAA does it easily.

[@winec00ler]

Thanks so much ! Going to London and Scotland in about 5 weeks. I do have AAA so I am gonna give them a call tomorrow 😊

[@Thehumansmilyface]

Thankyou so very much for this. I am about to travel out the country for the first time as a teenager and I had no clue you have to pre order it. I was thinking there’s probably some sort of ATM machine that you can put money in and get foreign money back in different countries 😂

[@hannahmansfield3257]

Is there a way to put money on a card? Like an international debit card

[@NReluctant]

Yes it is the TravelEX money card. You can go to any AAA store and get one or do it online with TravelEX.

[@kayleep3329]

My local AAA doesn’t exchange to foreign currency & never has. The clerk said it varies around the country, but larger banks might , like Chase.

Great video! Your Amazing!

[@lino37]

Amazed at what a process the make it to exchange currency in the US everywhere else I’ve been you can walk to a place or bank and do it on the spot

[@isaiahdean424]

I'm not sure where you live but it's not really that surprising considering the US only borders two countries by land

[@reggieowens2631]

Good info. Thing is about travelx, there's no option for USA in the location drop down.

[@myhealthislife]

Thank you!

Was the rate good? Or did they rob u on the rate?? I was surprised. I exchanged USD for euros in Athens Greece at the airport. The rate was really good. Like $1.25 for one euro. They only charged a $7.95 fee so for $600 I got almost 500 euros.

[@NReluctant]

See John Vlog the rate was good but not great, you honestly got a good deal. I exchanged $315 USD and got $275 for a short trip to France. Guess it depends on the current rate, plus they added their $12 fee into the cost.

[@JohnnieV]

NReluctant really. I was on their website yesterday and AAA says they don’t charge a fee. Just the rate is where they make money.

[@NReluctant]

See John Vlog they ordered it from the same place you can get it online and it was like a $12 processing fee or something even with my AAA membership. I hear that local banks will do it for free though.

[@jonathans.6259]

Currently, Triple A no longer does this as they cited the pandemic as the cause.

[@NReluctant]

I recently did it at my local bank, make sure to check yours as most all banks do it.

[@jonathans.6259]

@@NReluctant Thanks for following up. Will call them first thing tomorrow.

[@negusdawoo]

Appears for $3000 usd to euro - everyone is charging around 500$ for ... wtf

[@NReluctant]

Try your local bank. It should be around $15ish plus the conversion rate whatever it is. Shouldn’t be anywhere near $500 in fees 😅

[@negusdawoo]

@@NReluctant you must have a time machine ... all banks plus online are charging ~$500 to convert $3000 to Euro ... BOA, CITI, Chase, CEIX

[@negusdawoo]

​@NReluctant chase rate was 1.1506 and citi was 1.1658

[@NReluctant]

@@negusdawoo oh you mean on what you lose transferring? To be safe I usually estimate losing around $0.25 on every dollar. I’ve never exchanged $3,000 before so that may be correct. Another option is to get less euros and put other purchases on a credit card with no foreign transaction fees when you get there. Just let your credit card know the dates of travel.

[@negusdawoo]

@@NReluctant true; however that doesn't work in cuba. And getting less doesn't decrease the rate - so it's still relative i.e. $1k = (fee of ~$500/3)
