I mean, if that is the case, MC needs to provide us with rates more than 1.1% better, because usually I see the best actual rates (foreign amount / posted USD amount) on MC when compared directly with Visa and Amex on the same day in the same country.

That's my observation, but I think my observations are quite concrete.
