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.
I am happy to report that my Visa charges from last weekend have now posted and that they are indeed at the new preferred rate.
