rsmath @rsmath I believe you were correct, they did not ship the card, the story on the phone though was that "returned - customer changed mind".

The spread price is always changing, based on the currency costs. It usually is between 1.2-1.4
It's better than most institution's conversion fees , so I would say no, you are not ripped off.



Regardless, there's not another way to get your money from them in the USA, so it's a moot point.

You could theoretically wait for a time when the GBP was strong against the dollar, to get maybe 5% more.

With the relatively low amount of Prolific tests, you're better working a minimum wage job for an hour, than watching Forex to make $0.20 more on your conversion. :LOL:
Kinda not what i was talking about.. seems paypal is fraudulently converting to make more money. Saying the convesion rate is one thing when it is actually higher.
