If you are going to the World Cup Finals in South Africa, it might be a good idea to keep a close eye on the exchange rate. Figures from M&S Travel Money show that the rand rate has fluctuated against sterling by as much as 3.3 rand per pound during the past year. In October travellers could get 11.39 rand per pounds, compared to 14.69 rand last December.
M&S Money are advising fans to keep track of currency rates rather than wait until next summer to purchase their spending money, especially since supporters will be paying thousands of pounds on flights, hotels and match tickets, and will want to get the most for their money.
Of course there is no way of predicting what the rate will be next summer, however English fans should keep track of the rand rate over the coming months.
