Epassporte - 40.00 CAD = 48.04 USD?

[Agent 488]

Just went out for a couple drinks at this one place last night and used my Epass. Checked my account this morning and 40.00 CAD = 48.04 USD?

What the hell, that aint right ...

Give it a day... the amount "adjusts" itself in your balance, in your statement...

Took me a while to get used to USD being punked money...

Same thing for me... Taking almost everyday around 610.00 CAD = 614.00 USD
and when I use a currency converter 610.00 CAD = 593.00 USD
That's almost a $20 difference. Why?
I know they charge $2 per ATM transaction but where is the rest of my money?

[klinton]

maybe tips?

[Agent 488]

tips for epass reps maybe.

[Jens Van Assterdam]

lol at the tips

[WarChild]

Listen, it's been said time and time again.

If you are using your Epassporte at a Restaurant, Bar, etc, a % is automatically added to the authorization. This is to cover any amount you might leave as a tip. In a few days, when the place you used the card at settles the transaction, it will adjust to be the actual amount of the transaction.

I know its a rip, but they have stated time and time again, that the exchange rate is not set by them but by the banks

[JamesK]

Talking about tips, use your card only at ATM's.

[Vick!]

I guess they take some extra bucks when you swipe at restaurants and gas stations, and adjust it after a couple days.

Better to use at ATM and pay cash. I always do this.

Its correct what Warchild said.

Are you using the same ATM every time?
It can be the owner of the ATM charge a huge fee when using foreign cards, I suggest you try ATMs from a different bank.
Email me you UserID and I will see if we can see a reason for this.

Doesn't it show a break-down of the calculation?
