hay PQpine413, I think it fluctuates daily depending on the market, I would say expect about 3 cents higher than current market rate.

yea i understand that it would flucuate with the market
so would it better to just exchange for cash at the bank, or use a credit card to avoid carrying around too much cash. i'm expecting to go on a one week trip so a couple hundred dollars is a must.

hay PQpine413, I would do both. the CC rate over the bank rate is only going to be like 2 cents worse, so it's only $2 for every $100 difference... if you think it's worth it to save that $2 for every $100 and walk around with cash then carry cash
