(Apologies if this is old news, I searched and found naught).
Frequent Flyer - Earning Points - Travel - Foreign Exchange
If only I saw this a few weeks ago, when I changed a few thousand USD...
Not a bad deal. $1,000-$10,000 earns one QFF point per dollar spent. A lot better than the deal they have with eTrade (one point per dollar spent on BROKERAGE ).
Guessing Travelex's rates are a little higher than normal (I usually change cash through my credit union, who don't charge much), but still...it could work out in your favour if changing a large amount.
Edit: Or maybe not...seems their rates are pretty terrible. XE.com has the USD at $0.8233 now. Travelex are selling @ $0.7810...
