Add exchange and the points on changing money and it $1.47

Not looking to argue but one point; If you are getting charged 1.47 exchange you are getting massively ripped off. Canadian Dollar is .7317 or 1.367. Conversion on one of my credit card charges, where I accidentally used my U.S. card here in Canada, was at .7347, and when I got cash to go, the exchange was 1.38, (.7246) so yes, the bank took a small shave, but it sure wasn't 10 cents on the dollar. I would be shopping around for a lot better deal on the exchange.
