I've glanced through the above thread, quite useful. The consensus is that Visa forex rates are generally worse than MC's, based on numerous data points. A couple of posters thought it may be due to the theory that Visa uses the worse daily rate, while MC uses a mid or average daily rate. If I get any explanation resulting from my complaint with the CFPB, I'll be sure to post it.
