Are people still getting 38:1?
I am traveling down to SD on Wednesday and just want to know what exchange rate to expect.
I had not seen a recent update on the normal exchange rate thread.
Thanks.

Yes - I see similar online. But also Banco Popular still showing Buy:37.75 and Sell:38.10 - so I was wondering what people are actually getting when exchanging in the Dominican Republic?
A few weeks ago, people were mentioning 38 and 37.95. Is that still true? Can I expect that rate this week in Santo Domingo?

You should be able to get at least 38.0 in SD. Maybe not everywhere in SD, but that is normal. There is no specific rate, and what you get in SD is a bit more than what I get in Sosua, and what I get in Sosua is usually a little better than what the bancos de cambio in Cabarete are paying.
