I could but I don't like to root my phones. I'm not in a mad rush, so I decided to sit on it and see what happens re. Marshmallow and the announced S9. Although, I'm sure the S9 will be a lot more expensive.

** Sit on it, metaphorically speaking

As someone who is saving over 100 euro on an order it looks great to me.

Whats the time lag for the exchange rate to be reflected on Amazon and/or for consumers with the bank?

Pay with your credit card in sterling and you'll get current bank rates.

Sterling has taken a tumble this morning. The bank of England will likely step in at some point - but in the meantime there are some bargains to be had!

bennyx_o · 24-06-2016 08:50AM

Most rates aren't provided by the banks themselves, but go by the daily rate set by Visa or Mastercard.

What will happen to buying from the Uk? Will anything be different now they're not in the EU, customs etc?

Note
1.Rates apply to the date the transaction was processed by Visa; this may differ from the actual date of purchase.

Tg for that

Back to sterling , I got a refund of £69 last Monday into my bank account, got €90 for it. Online converters are showing same rate today? Are they not updated yet or am I missing something?

Payments via PayPal on the other hand are based on the exchange rate at the time of payment and changed to € before processing guaranteeing you the rate at the time of payment instead of the rate by Visa/Mastercard at the time of processing.

Xe.com is down. An post is showing rates for yesterday.

xe was working earlier this morning. Must be getting hammered today. Like Sterling.

Keith186 · 24-06-2016 09:36AM

Exchange rate is £1=€1.10 on FX Street. On the visa app to check what rate applies to your card it's still €1.31.

Might have to wait until later or tomorrow for full benefit?

Keith186 · 24-06-2016 09:42AM

Checked Amazon's rate and it's €1.289 which is the first time I've ever seen it offer a better one than the visa card. Still poor though, hopefully they'll update soon.

God damn it you're right! I should have waited a couple of days before buying that new watch on Amazon :eek:

jonerkinsella · 24-06-2016 09:46AM

I might get me one of them Revolut cards now.

Xe has crashed . lol.

It's a good day to be alive

Enjoy it while it lasts as it won't be such a "good day to be alive" when we have to trade through a hostile UK in two years and customs come into play.

You can cancel before it gets dispatched with Amazon. (if it's not too late)

jonerkinsella · 24-06-2016 09:55AM

I might just default back to my plan A again . I was planning to head up North and buy another car at the latter end of this year if the exchange rate was good. I bought my current car in October 2 yr ago up there . I saved nearly €3k on a C-max at the time compare to down here.

Time to start looking again I think.

Yayyyy...Happy Brexit day.

my3cents · 24-06-2016 10:08AM

I'm not so sure there will be the massive bargains that some people seem to be expecting. The pound will drop in value but because of the potential for disruption of the EU the euro may also drop.

.G. · 24-06-2016 10:12AM

I bought something a few weeks ago on revolut and it exchanged as 844. Today it's 815.

On the downside UK retailers are pushing prices up to compensate cos it costs them more to buy stock.

Which Visa app is this? Never knew there was a way to see what realtime fx rate Visa were using. Bit of a revelation for me

Is there a lag on visa/mastercard rates (closure on previous day or something like that), or do they reflect intra-day changes ?
