At that time I got 6.6:1 instead of 8.6:1 (the exchange rate of the day).
sadly, I am not surprised - the best would be if one could buy an e-gift card from the country where it is going to, in which case the exchange rate would be charged by one's own credit card issuer; however many countries don't have the e-gift card, at least I could not find it e.g. on the Italian site.
