Celebrate Independence Day with the best dollar deal in town

Anyone heading to America, ‘land of opportunity', to celebrate Independence Day would be wise to ensure they've secured the best currency deal available to help their celebrations go with a bang.

FairFX.com offers Brits the best return on their cash, and any extra Dollars are sure to come in handy when stretching their spending money as far as possible. In deed, holiday makers could get an extra $65 for every £500 they spend if they use the FairFX.com currency card instead of waiting until they hit the airport to get their spending money.

Stephen Heath, Chief Executive of FairFX.com, said: "Anyone heading to the States in the near future should make sure they pack their FairFX.com currency card if they want to stretch their Dollars as far as possible.

"Many Brits might now be considering a US break instead of the traditional holiday on the Med given the strong Euro and the weak Dollar. You can get almost $2 for every £1 at the moment, but just less than €1.25 to every £1 - making cheap European weeks away a thing of the past.

"And I would warn anyone planning to get their Dollars from the airport to think again. Brits who get their currency from the usual places like the airport, high street, or using their bank's debit or credit cards overseas, may believe they are getting ‘0 per cent cost' or ‘0 per cent commission' foreign currency. However, the reality is they are paying hidden costs by way of the poor rate of exchange they receive.

"A family of four spending $802 on a week's entry to Disney World would have an extra $56 if they bought their tickets with the FairFX.com card instead of using foreign currency purchased at the airport. Enough to splash out of a few extra treats while they see the attractions."
