The MasterCard I have (Citi Enrich - I get a 1.25% rebate on all purchases) not only charges a premium exchange rate, they also charge a fee on top of that -- so the effective rate is 4 or 5 point higher than the published rates.
My TD VISA also charges a higher rate than the bank, but they don't charge a fee.
