The rate Les posts each day is the tourist rate you get by exchanging at Thomas Cook online.

I thought you bought DVC in $? so why are they quoting an exchange rate? they have no idea the rate you will get. Or is there a payment option in £'s?

When we bought our DVC we were told that you pay interbank rate as it was classed as a business transaction and it was avery good rate at the time we got over $2 to the £.

I'm confused on that too maybe he's just letting you how much it would cost if you bought today and paid them

You purchase in $$ and you then pay them in $$, they don't have anything to do with the conversion. If you paid via a bank transfer or card you pay them in dollars and if you have a loan with them and pay monthly you pay via a DD monthly in $$.
