The Blue is at 200.

WU is basing its rate on the CCL Libre, according to my financial guy who understands these things more than I do.
You finance guy is correct, the CCL is however quite volatile - and is not an option for visitors unless they go through WU. Anytime WU pays more than the Blue Rate, it is clearly the best option out there although you do have to go out to a WU office to settle up. Guess there is really no free lunch....
