U.S. $ Conversion Rate

I am a frequent guest at Hilton properties in Canada.

What I can't understand is the exchange rate that Hilton HHonors uses to convert my charges (in Canadian dollars) to U.S. $.

On a recent stay, I spent $122.00 CDN, which only converted to $60.00 U.S. This is only a 50% exchange rate!! Never before in history has the Cdn dollar been this low!!

On a previous stay, I spent $193.00 CDN, and was only given credit based on spending $86.00 U.S. (45%)

I feel I am being ripped off -- at least being screwed on the exchange rates. At the very least, the conversion rate should be based on AT LEAST 60%. Never in history has the Cdn dollar dropped below this figure!

If someone at Hilton is reading this, please feel free to e-mail me and tell me what rate you are using to convert my stays in Canadian dollars to U.S. Dollars. Thanks!
