I can see a pullback this morning.... is it time to lock in?

What do you mean "a pull back"?

I can still buy from RBC for $100 CDN = $80.59 US

Peak mid-market rate yesterday was .8290, down to about .8240 currently. Given the volatility of currency markets though, personally I wouldn't call that a "pullback", just normal day-to-day fluctuations.

I made a payment on a cruise a couple of days ago. It posted yesterday at 1.2417 (0.806) on my no-forex Visa. Which actually is not that great, considering the spot rate yesterday. Looks like Visa's rate for the day was a little inflated. Still, better than paying that plus another 2.5% to the credit card company.

That's quite a good bank rate, by the way. Slightly better than the rate I'm seeing from XE, which is usually a bit better than the banks. The local currency exchange place is sitting at 80.9, and they have the best retail rates I've been able to find.

Yea, that RBC rate is the sell rate to Canadians, not their buy rate.

I've been promised that we can buy into DVC if the dollar gets to 85 cents US. Inching closer everyday!

Hold Me Back!

$100 cdn = $79.15 us on RBC currency converter today.

I was just about to buy some us money this weekend, but now that it has dipped back under $80 I think I might wait again...ugh
