TRAVELEX PRESS RELEASE
TRAVELEX ‘PRICE PROMISE’ GUARANTEES BEST PRICE ONLINE TRAVEL MONEY IN THE UK
Date : August, 2006
Foreign exchange specialist Travelex is offering a price promise to ensure its website offers the best value travel money in the UK.
Holidaymakers ordering foreign currency online at www.travelex.co.uk will benefit from the best foreign exchange rate. Travellers using the site that can find a better price of purchase elsewhere, including the high street, the Internet, seaports and airports, will be paid the difference by Travelex.
Travelex’s Price Promise remains the lowest price in the UK because a team of experts continually research prices at all major foreign exchange services online and on the high street to ensure it guarantees customers the best possible deal. Along with the most competitive exchange rate on all currencies, the Price Promise has no commission or delivery charges or any other hidden costs, making Travelex Britain’s leading supplier of foreign currency.
For example customers ordering £300 of Australian dollars today can save almost £10 if they order from www.travelex.co.uk
