M&S Travel Money: Rates and Bureau de Change

This guide walks through all you need to know about Marks and Spencer (M&S) travel money, including rates, fees and availability. We’ll also cover how the Wise account can help you spend less on travel money, so you enjoy your trip more.

M&S travel money rate

It’s important to know the exchange rate you’ll get for your travel money - but rates can be confusing as they change all the time. Some providers, like M&S also offer different rates depending on the specific service you want. Here’s an example of the M&S euro exchange rate and the rate you’ll get if you’re buying US dollars:

Exchange rates correct at time of research (25th November 2020)

As you can see, you’ll get a better rate if you order in advance using the click & collect service, as long as you’re not looking to use the same day option .

However, you’ll still need to be wary about the rates on offer, and compare them to the mid-market exchange rate to check if they are the best available for your transaction. We’ll take a look at why that is - and a smart way to use Wise (formerly TransferWise) to get more convenient currency exchange for your trip - in just a moment.

Marks and Spencer click and collect

The M&S click and collect service allows you to order currency online and collect it in store at your convenience. You can order euros and US dollars for same day collection, although currencies may take up to 7 working days to be prepared for collection.

If you’re planning on using M&S click and collect it’s important to note :

• You must be aged over 18
• You must be a UK resident
• Only the person who placed the order can collect it - ID will be required
• You’ll need to provide the payment card used when ordering when you collect
• There’s a £10 fee for cancelling an order

Marks and Spencer states there is no fee for having your order prepared through the click and collect service. However, it’s worth noting that the exchange rate you’re offered for the same day service is poor, compared to the normal click and collect rate. In effect this is an additional fee for the convenience of getting your travel money more quickly.

What are the fees for buying travel money with Marks and Spencer

There’s no explicit fee for getting your travel money through M&S. However, that does not mean it’s free .

When you buy foreign currency you always need to look at both the upfront fees or commission charges, and the exchange rates being used. It’s common for banks and currency providers to use an enticing headline offer - such as zero fee exchange, or 0% commission - but include their costs in the exchange rates they use instead. This means you’re still paying a fee - it’s just more difficult to see .

Marks and Spencer offers a different exchange rate for the same day click and collect service, compared to the regular click and collect options. The rate you’ll get for the more convenient same day pick up is not as good as the normal click and collect rate. That’s because an extra charge has been rolled into the rate used to compensate M&S for the extra work of preparing your currency more quickly, and to boost their profits.

To see this in action, compare the different rates offered by M&S travel money against the live mid-market exchange rate for your currency. You may find that both rates vary from the mid-market exchange rate - even the regular click and collect rate. That’s likely to be because a markup has been added.

Exchange rate markups matter because they’re not transparent. If there’s a markup added to the rate used to convert your currency you may be losing out, and paying more fees than you think for your travel money.

Save with Wise when you spend in any currency

The smart way to avoid exchange rate markups is to use low cost currency specialist Wise .

Wise offers customers the real mid-market exchange rate every time, with low, clear and transparent fees.

If you’re planning on travelling abroad, you can get a free online Wise account with a linked Mastercard debit card .

Top up your account in pounds and you can then switch to whichever currency you need, using the mid-market exchange rate. Spend for free all over the world using your card, or withdraw local currency from ATMs wherever you are.

You’ll be able to withdraw up to the currency equivalent of £200 per month with no fee, and a small percentage charge after that. There’s no waiting around for your currency, and you can manage your money from your laptop or mobile device. Simple.

Marks and Spencer travel money products

Let’s take a look at the different options available through M&S travel money.

Click & Collect

You can order from £250 to £2,500 in foreign currency online for collection at a branch of your choosing. You’ll need to pay by card, and take along your payment card and a government issued ID when you collect your money. It’s worth noting that euros and US dollars are available quickly, but some other currencies may take up to 7 working days to prepare.

Same Day click & Collect

If you order before 4pm, you’ll be able to pick up euros or US dollars immediately at your local M&S store. However, the exchange rate you’ll get won’t be as favourable as the regular click and collect rate - it’s set the same as the walk-in exchange rate.

Foreign exchange bureaux

You can buy some foreign currency without needing to order in advance, by simply walking into a M&S store which has an exchange bureau. Over 40 currencies are available, although the amounts and currencies available may vary. For this reason it’s worth calling in advance if you’re looking to buy a lot of travel money or an unusual currency.

Not all Marks and Spencer branches have an exchange bureau, and not all exchange bureaux operate at all times. Look for more information about the branches near you, using the Marks and Spencer online branch finder .

M&S currency buy back

If you end up with extra foreign currency after your trip you can take it back to M&S using their buy back service. You’ll need to keep your original receipt to do this, and can only switch notes in denominations M&S sell. Coins won’t be accepted, although you can donate unwanted foreign coins to charity via the Marks and Spencer exchange bureaux.

M&S currency buy back rate

The exchange rate offered by M&S for currency buy back is not the same as the exchange rate you’ll get for buying currency in the first place. The rate used for buy back will be set by M&S at the time you’re switching your money back and may include markups.

Because the exchange rate will change day by day - and because there’s a chance of markups being added to the rates used for buy back - you may not get back as much as you expect when you convert your unwanted currency back after your holiday.

M&S travel money Bureau de Change

There are over 100 exchange bureaux in Marks and Spencer stores around the UK. However, not all are open all the time, and services available can vary. Check in advance if you’re planning on heading out to an M&S bureau de exchange.

M&S foreign currency London

Different M&S stores offer different travel money services. You’ll find you can collect your travel money from a broad range of stores - including some Simply Food outlets - if you order through click and collect. You’ll be able to choose the best store to collect from when you order, based on your location.

However if you want to walk into a bureau you’ll need to find a Marks and Spencer with an exchange service. At the time of writing, many of the exchange desks are closed due to concerns and restrictions related to the global pandemic. There’s an up to date listing of available services over on the M&S website. Call in advance if you want to check your local store is operating normally.

Does M&S offer a travel money card?

Marks and Spencer does not offer a travel money card at this point. If you want a simple way to top up and spend when you travel, check out the Wise account which comes with a linked debit card you can use just like a travel money card.

No matter where you decide to buy your travel money, make sure you compare the available exchange rates - as well as any upfront fees - against other services to make sure you’re getting the best available deal.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Marks & Spencer opening times for Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday 2019

Share this with

It’s Easter weekend, and once you’ve finished scoffing your fill of chocolate eggs you might just want to take in a bit of retail therapy.

And in many cases that would include a trip to M&S to possibly nab yourself a bank holiday bargain or even stock up on food.

As with most retail giants the chain will be open over the four-day break – but you can expect some closures and reduced opening hours.

Here’s when your local will be opening its doors over the weekend…

What are M&S’s opening hours for Good Friday?

The chain will be open across the UK as usual on Good Friday – with some opening their doors at 8am and some at 9am.

You can check what time your local branch is opening on Friday via the store finder on the chain’s website , which has published its opening times for the Easter break.

M&S Simply Food is also open across the country on Friday – with some branches open as late as 10pm in case you need to stock up on any last minute Easter goodies.

What are M&S’s opening hours for Easter Sunday and Easter Monday?

Many branches of Marks & Spencer are closed on Easter Sunday – as is the case for a lot of major retail chains – including the flagship branches in London’s Oxford Street.

However some branches in Scotland are open on this day, so once again check the store finder to see if your local is one of them.

A lot of M&S Simply Food branches will also be closed on Sunday, although some – especially those located at major rail stations and hospitals – will be open as usual.

Marks & Spencer will be open again across the UK on Easter Monday, although once again opening times will vary, so check the website for details.

Marks and Spencer late May bank holiday 2024 opening times: What time are M&S stores open on Monday 27?

HEADING out for a bit of shopping is a common way to spend the bank holiday weekend.

But you'll want to check first that opening times haven't changed.

Some shops and supermarkets  reduce hours on public holidays to give staff some much-needed time off and due to trading laws.

Your local M&S branch may be one of them over the late May bank holiday , which is on Monday, May 27 this year.

The posh supermarket and high street fashion beacon has more than 400 stores across the UK.

You can find your nearest by using the store locator tool on the M&S website.

When will m&s be open over the late may bank holiday.

M&S stores are open as usual on Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26, 2024.

That's because these are normal weekend days, so the typical Saturday and Sunday opening times apply.

On a Sunday there are limits on how long some stores can be open, depending on their size.

This is due to Sunday trading laws. Though in some shops you can browse for a period of time before tills open to make sales.

The Monday, May 27 bank holiday is the second holiday this month.

Some M&S stores will open later and close earlier than usual on these days.

For example, M&S King's Road will open at 8am instead of 7.30am, and close at 7pm instead of 9pm.

The same goes for M&S Newcastle. In Aberystwyth, meanwhile, there's no change to its usual opening time of 8am.

But the doors will shut earlier at 6pm instead of 8pm.

Opening times at M&S stores vary so it's also always best to check your local store to avoid disappointment.

What are other shops doing over the late May bank holiday?

It's not just M&S which can see a change to store opening and closing times.

Retailers ' hours vary over the bank holidays , so you should check each specific store to avoid a wasted journey.

Most supermarkets and large high street chains have store locators on their website which you can use to find the opening hours for your nearest branch.

In most cases, you just have to enter your postcode into the search bar and it will tell you what time that store is open and closed.

Euro facts and history

20 of the 27 EU members use the euro (EUR) as their official currency.

The idea of a single European currency was put forward during the 1991 Maastricht Treaty. Following the official formation of the European Union, the euro came into circulation in 2002 and replaced 19 different currencies.

Each euro contains 100 cents and its currency symbol is €.

The euro comes in both coins and banknotes. Coins include:

• 1, 2 ,5, 10, 20, and 50 cents

Banknotes include:

Frequently asked questions

Can i use my bank card in europe.

You'll be able to use your credit and debit card all over Europe, though your bank will usually charge a transaction fee for using your card abroad. Some businesses also will let you pay in British pounds (GBP), but it's always best to pay in the local currency. By paying in GBP, you may get unfavourable exchange rates that cost you extra.

However, it's a good idea to also take travel money with you. Souvenir shops and local markets will typically be more cash-based, and you'll need some euros on hand to buy that Eiffel tower keyring or fridge magnet.

What are the typical costs in Europe?

Europe can be a fantastic holiday destination, whether you're on a shoestring budget or looking for a luxurious getaway.

Food and accommodation costs will vary from country to country. For a basic meal, you can expect to pay:

• EUR18 in Luxembourg
• EUR15 in France and Ireland
• EUR14 in Austria
• EUR12 in Germany
• EUR10 in Slovenia and Lithuania
• EUR9 in Croatia
• EUR7 in Slovakia

Generally speaking, countries in Western Europe (Luxembourg, France, etc) will be more expensive than the rest of Europe (Slovenia, Croatia, etc). If you're travelling to a Western European country, you may need to think about budgeting or taking a little more travel money.

Can you use other currencies in Europe?

Some EU members have their own official currency instead of the euro. If you're travelling to one of these countries outside of the eurozone, you'll need different travel money.

While you can use the euro across different European countries, you'll only be able to use non-eurozone currencies in the respective country.

Do you need a visa to visit Europe?

You won't need a visa to visit the EU, but how long you can stay will depend on whether your country is part of the Schengen Area.

Ireland, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Romania aren't part of the Schengen Area. This means you can stay in each country for up to 90 days without a visa. If you want to work or stay longer, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa.

The rest of the EU are Schengen Area members. You can stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without a visa.

If you're planning to visit Europe in the next few years, you'll need ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) to travel. While ETIAS isn't a visa, it will be mandatory for EU entry from 2024 onwards.

You should always research the most up to date visa guidelines before planning a trip.

Should I tip in Europe?

Tipping in the EU is a common practice, so make sure you have some spare euros on hand!

Tipping isn't mandatory, but giving a couple of euros to taxi drivers, hotel porters, and hotel cleaning staff is a nice way to show your appreciation.

Most restaurants will add a service charge to your bill, so you won't need to worry about tipping here. If your service was particularly excellent, leaving a 5% to 10% tip is more than enough.

What languages are spoken in Europe?

The EU is a large and diverse place, so it's no surprise that there are 24 official languages.

Some of the main languages include:

Each country in the EU will have an official language, and some may have regional or minority languages too. Whether you're visiting Spain, Sweden, or Slovakia, learning a few key phrases can help you get by more comfortably.

What is the latest government travel advice for Europe?

The government regularly provides information for individual countries, both inside and outside the EU. You can visit the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for travel advice on a particular country.

The government also has general information on visas when travelling to the EU and Schengen Area.

Travel insurance is a must-have when visiting the EU. Most EU citizens pay for their healthcare, and a simple patch up can cost a lot of euros if you're not covered.

What is the best time of year to visit Europe?

The best time to visit Europe depends on where you want to go and what you want to do.

If you're heading to Europe for a skiing holiday, you'll want to visit between November and April. Some of the world's best ski resorts are located in the Alps region of Europe, so be sure to visit Austria, Germany, or France during winter to hit the slopes.

If you're a sun-seeker, head to Southern Europe between May and August. Countries like Spain, Italy, Croatia, and Greece are renown for luxurious villas, family-friendly resorts, and cheap city breaks.

If you want to explore rugged coastlines but don't fancy wearing your winter gear or lathering on sun cream, milder EU countries like Ireland could be your dream destination!
