I had to get a temporary ATM card (Bank of America) because there was fraud on my account. Thank you Adobe for your great security and telling the world all my info and thanks to Experian for your wonderful fraud protection. Anyway, I digress. I'm visiting this coming Wednesday and I'm paranoid that I might have a problem with DR ATMs with a temporary card even though BofA sez I shouldn't.
I called my hotel and they said they could probably exchange a substantial amount of money at 41 pesos to the dollar (today's rate), probably being the operative word. They also say I can go to a bank to exchange money. Is that true? Just bring in my passport and voila? If this is true, do most banks offer roughly the same exchange rate, the same or close to the one I see posted every day?
