Well, the point of my post was that in recent back to back tests (2-3 minutes apart) with my MC/CIRRUS debit and my VISA/PLUS debit cards, MC/CIRRUS now consistently produces a better rate sometimes approaching 1% better than VISA/PLUS. I believe VISA/PLUS is now padding the rate when in the past this was not the case.
