is that you get the best exchange rate for the day compared to the banks charging for giving you the US $ plus about 0.03 US cents less to our $. We looked at exchanging about $1500 to US and the agent in Aust wanted to charge us for the service plus the rate was 0.03 cents less than current exchange rate which meant that we would have been giving them about $78 as well with the loss of exchange. You don't get that sort of thing when you put things on Visa.
