I will be using MasterCard today but of course I won’t know for a few days if they are still rebating back the difference.

I will update this after the visa charges actually clear and of course I will be reaching out to my bank if the rate seems wrong.
Please come back with an update.

[fwiw, the VISA Exchange Rate Calculator ([url]https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html) is currently showing 1 USD=333.23 ARS]
