So if you get the chance take it. Darren

(Caveat - as far as I know, haven't had any issues personally or heard of anyone who has though I haven't tried at every single bank).

You had in the VIP ticket, and they give you a similar rate to someone without a ticket, but if you hadn't checked the rate before hand you wouldn't have known. Check their rate before giving them the ticket so you can see how much they really give you discount.

I've never heard about this. @ Adrian Thanks for the tip. Good point about choosing a bank ATM over a ATM in a shop. I've mentioned this before, and it's a great ponit to make, thanks. @ Nick
