CIBC...It sounds like they made an error....

Ok, something very strange happened to my thread!!
Here's what I posted.

I went into the bank today ( CIBC) and exchanged $500 and received $523.01

I thought the dollar had dropped to 1.02?? Wouldn't that have meant that I would receive the exchange rate at about par??( with the bank fee)??

Last week I exchanged $21000 and only received $2154.30, when the exchange rate was at an all time peak of 1.096...

Something doesn't sound right......

The rate at the TD on Saturday was $0.9970. I exchanged $400 and received $401.

The bank rates change all the time. Ask your bank they will give you the best information.

I'm very aware that the rate changes all the time ...
My reason for posting was I think the bank made a mistake in my favour.
( and when does that ever happen...)

Receiving $523 US for $500 Canadian is too good to be true.( with the rate at 1.02)

I was just checking to make sure I didn't miss some rise in the Canadian dollar on Friday.

I think I'll go back and look for the same teller!!

That's what I thought...

Bank error in my favor...( doesn't that sound like a CHANCE card from a monopoly game!)
