Fortunately it doesn't seem too bad in terms of a rate. With minor fluctuations of the dollar and peso, it could go either way, depending how quickly they change prices. While this is slightly outside the region of benefit of the doubt - I view this within 1% of the true exchange rate - about 1.5% is not in the same range as 3%-5%+ commonly found with DCC.
