    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    I went to the COTO supermarket yesterday with my (US) American Express card. I spent about $3.600 pesos in groceries. When I got home I checked my AmexCard expenses and it came to around $20.00. So I was billed at the official rate of $180.00. I won’t be doing that again. They didn’t ask for any ID.
