Uhm... It must be different. Is your card international with the Maestro logo? Or Cirrus? If so, you get the official international exchange rate (the one you see on Yahoo Finance, so to speak) + 1.5% fee (I am not sure if it is 1.5% or 1.25%) + 2-3 dollars fixed fee. See the MasterCard web page for info.
I do this ANYWHERE in the world. I am now in Colombia.
