You got $45.01 from an ATM, when the best cash rate at the time was 44.80-44.90? Me doubthful. Post the image of the transactiom slip, something is off.
This sounds like a normal rate for an atm.

Webby - I just checked - April 28, 2015 $10,000 RD cost 279.70 CAD = 35.73.
Which would be about right @ .82, no ?
Not $300 back then.
Asty, I can tell you - I paid $295-300CAD several times in late April for 10,000.
no mistake here....
I know it b/c I was heading back and was into my Cdn account - a rarity for me in RD
The CAD conversion usually stinks - try cash and watch what happens.

Assuming you got 12,000 pesos in your hands and your account was debited $269.27, the exchange rate was 12000/269.27 = 44.56. The bank is returning you 120 pesos transaction fee as an additional service to you to keep you happy while they are screwing you somewhere else for 100 times that. Also the number of rebatable atm transactions per month may be limited as per your agreement.
So in other Words, if you have $1000 Cad ( or higher) its better to first exchange it to USD, and THEN buy your Pesos? Is that the consensuses.. Because on lower CAD amounts lets say $20 it would be a lower exchange rate when buying USD..
I've never exchanged CAD in the DR ( except when using Credit Cards) Always come with the Green Back to the Island... But with the DIVE in the CAD, I'm trying to think of/if there are more creative ways..

Well - all I can tell you is what my Scotia online account shows. And I watch it VERY closely.
April 28, 2015 $10,000 RD cost 279.70 CAD
Not trying to get into an argument with you.
Are you using CAD Scotia debit card at Scotia ATM here ? Maybe we're not talking apples to apples.
Yes Cdn card...
to be fair, it was April 20 or so, and earlier - not as late you.
Pretty easy to do the math at the time Tango.
Knee jerk answer is 'Yes, switch to US$$'...
I only keep US, always.
My friend who has an apartment in Toronto has stocked up big time on CDN $$..... buying down to 80 cents.
He's happy..... but is based in US$$, so for him , it's a boon.
Yes, and it was a boon for me back in 2011 when I bought my Condo exchanging the CAD $1 for at one time worth $1.04 USD.. Those were the good ole days the CAD at PAR with the Greenback.. We will NEVER see that again for the next 50 years.. I guarantee you that..
yup, the goovernment likes it at 80-85 cents.....won't return for a while to par
you can see the tourism increases here on Lake Huron 77 cent dollars.
We had beers the other day w/ my daughter calculating how cheap it was (NYC = her)

Yeah, NYC is cheap, LOL.
I guess for a Rockafella such as yourself.
So a $12 cocktail costs $10.20, drink up.
I think WW was saying that the higher value of the US dollar was increasing tourism in Canada, not that NY was cheap.
Get your context correct.. Sheesh! That's not what Webster was saying... He was basically saying its cheaper for you Mericans to come on up North.. with our 75 cent dollar
Oooops, my bad, what was I thinking Tanga ...feel free to pile on.
Do you have a crush on Webster, you seem to follow him around?
I'll have to pop over the border for some suds when I figure out this Fx thing, sooooo confusing.

Piling on here.... do the math again Einstein...- .76 x $12 will bring you out around $8
If you come to Canada to buy me one, that's what it will cost in US$$
I am a cheap date !!
right Windy
Correct
, tourism shoots way up. Bargain prices.
I saw your post mentioned daughter, who if I recall lives in NYC, whatever I MADE A ****ING MISTAKE!
Maybe we can get Dee Vee Ocho to start a new thread!
I think it's time to go to the beach and light up.
