Party Poker Exchange Rate Altered?

[AKingdom]

This is the exchange rate for 100$ converted from American to Canadian that I was quoted by the e-cashier last night:

100 USD = 102.7325 CAD

vs the actual exchange rate:

100 US Dollar = 105.791

So, am I missing something here? Didn't Party used to have great exchange rates? They recently increased their cashout fees, now I feel jipped on the exchange rate too. Maybe I will withdraw to Moneybookers in American and cashout from there if they offer a better rate. I was previously using EFTs.

About the only thing you're missing is the 2 or 3 threads we've had on this already. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yes, it's been this way for a few weeks now...the great deal we were getting before is finally over. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Can anyone find the original thread that someone started about Party's great exchange rate and caused Party to change it to a not-so-great-but-only-average exchange rate days later?

I'm usually good at search, but I can't find it.

Back in the day you could deposit, withdraw, and draw a profit.

I sent them an email about the exchange rates about a week ago and they said that regardless of what it shows on the cashout screen, the true conversion rate is used when they credit back - which is patently untrue.

Canadian dollar increases to over 0.95/US$ in early trading thanks to June job report today. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
