So anybody else given it a run?

I used it the other day when the exchange rate was 6.87 today its 7.16 saved about R8 buying $25

It might not sound like a lot but over a year of buying games it starts adding up.

Awesome idea!

Does the exchange rate stay fixed on the day you transfer or does it change as the rate does?

I am no banker and can't tell you about the exchange rates. All I know is I check the Exchange rates on my bank site and then buy or don't buy.

3 day's ago densweep like I said I use my bank one so if they wrong sorry but that's what I use since I am with them and trust those figures are up to date. Something to do with rate cut overseas and then the rand got stronger for that period. But I said I am not a fundi on exchange rates. I just go with my bank have on there website.

Ok cool. No worries. I know that it's currently hovering just above and below the R7 mark. But yeah, you definitely scored there.
