Interesting article as the dollar closes in on 1.01 USD...

I just got around to checking the Accu-rate posted at the little currency exchange place near my office and they are offering USD for .99 Canadian.

It inspired me to try to find out what my credit card company was charging. CROOKS!

Anyways, I came accross this article (stuff I already knew but it was still and interesting read). Thought others might benefit from my current obsession...

December 11th... that's my focus date (when my balance is due to Disney; I want to put it on my credit card because I don't want to forgo all those aeroplan points).

i did some purchases on my C.C last week in US and my CC bill showed they charged 8% difference then what they listed exchange.

I think it was .98 cents then i was charged at .90 cents. Wow 8% service charge!
