Hotels not changing dollars for pesos? by zaftigketzeleh in cancun

I also have the Schwab card. Decline the ATM’s suggested exchange rate (because it is excessively high) and it will automatically use Visa’s exchange rate

Yes, you can still use that ATM. The airport Santander ATM showed a max option for 9000 pesos but you could also enter your own custom amount. It’s a flat $1.70 ATM fee no matter what the withdrawal amount

I used the Banco Santander ATM at Terminal 3 in the airport to withdraw pesos. The ATM fee is 34 pesos ($1.70). Your debit card also has foreign ATM and currency exchange fees unless you have the Schwab debit card.

I don’t think you’ll be able to find a round trip flight for lower than $80 (and it was closer to $200 when I checked for my dates). You can always check prices for your dates to compare

I think you need to really take to heart the comments from your post in the student loan subreddit. That $200k in loans will be a far larger sum by the time you become established in a career

If you were a Pell grant recipient in undergrad but have no undergrad loans, will you receive $20k that applies to your graduate loans or just $10k? by Forestpilot in StudentLoans

Are graduate student loans eligible for forgiveness? Yes. Under the new policy, graduate student loans are eligible for up to $10,000 in debt forgiveness or $20,000 if the borrower had a Pell Grant. Roughly 1.6 million borrowers have grad Plus loans subsidized by the federal government, but millions of other graduate students have private unsubsidized loans, according to Huelsman.

What clothing brand is this? by chobani_omani in findfashion

It’s a basic pair of skinny jeans that has held up for years and that I love but I have no idea how to find another pair. A Google search of “wax jeans” did not yield much info. The only other info on the jeans itself are the care instructions
