High shipping and service charges
I chose to buy pesos for my trip to Mexico because the exchange rate is more expensive at the airport. Unfortunately, between the shipping charge of $20 and then an added transaction fee of $13.00 charged by my credit card company, it ended up costing me more. When I questioned the extra service charge, the credit card company said it was considered a cash advance, which I was not informed of when doing my transaction. If I had known that, I would have used my debit card. Funny, when I asked how a cash advance is done, he said I had to register my card and pick a pin number. None of this was ever done and I didnt need a pin number to buy the pesos. Both companies blamed the other and basically said I was s*#t out of luck. If you offered cheaper shipping rates, then I guess I would do this again.
