in town last week i got 33 and a half

[Rocky]

Got 33.2 at Western Union/Vimenca (Sosua) late Saturday afternoon.
I presume it would be a bit higher than that, as the rates always drop on the weekends.

[psriches]

I got 33.30 at Judys on Friday.

[SJG]

does the exchange rate effect the prices the chicas charge?

[SJG]

does the exchange rate effect the prices the chicas charge?

Generally, no. That is why we always pay in pesos. We take advantage of favorable exchange rates. NEVER pay in US dollars. If a chica requests dollars, this is a warning sign that she is going to hit you up for a premium price.

does the exchange rate effect the prices the chicas charge?

Normally, no. But prices were affected back in 2004, after the peso hit 50/1 US. It took a while for the chicas to adjust their prices. Back then it was common to pay$500RD for a ST.

Another Question
When arriving in POP, where is the best place to exchange currency?
Last time I flew in to sti, and changed my money at BB's and got raped.

Dont exchange it in the airport.

Know the rate! Check it on yahoo or any other exchange website and find the closest match.

You get better rates if you deal with the same person mainly. Also exchanging during the daytime is better also as everyplace is open. If you plan on exchanging more than 300 try asking for a little higher rate. I have never gotten the exact rate posted on yahoo but you can get pretty close if you shop around a little and haggle.

to date best rates i have gotten is at the Banco Popular in Sosua.

if you know what the current rate is then you can change money just about anywhere if you need to.

I check the exchange rate ofter, it's usually 33.50pesos per 1usd, I guess what I was asking is do the banks give you the actual rate or do they take points.
For example
domincan peso was 33, bb would give 30
