    Generally £, you'll get a better rate with your own bank than they will give.

    Depends on your bank. If they charge a fee as well as the exchange rate, could be better taking the amazon rate especially for payments under 20 or 30.

    In my experience some debit cards charge a fixed fee, credit cards usually don’t, so if you are going to pay sterling use a card with no fixed fees.

    That’s not always the case.
