Correct me if I am wrong. We should be using spot rate right? Spot rate is 23.71

If using Trust to withdraw, should be around 23.76 based on visa exchange rate.

All above is based on 16 Apr rates.

No leh.. you're getting cash, so should look at cash rates. The bank also want to earn.

This makes more sense, especially if one does not spend a lot. But check which card gives better rates, utrip, revokut or trust. My last trip revolut wins lor.
