Dollar to euro is the most heavily traded currency pair in the world, which has one useful consequence: it is the pair where the gap between the reference rate and what you can actually get is narrowest.
More about USD to EUR
That is a matter of volume. A pair traded in enormous quantities has many participants competing on price, so the spread between buying and selling is thin. Thin is not zero — a card payment abroad or a bureau de change still adds several percent — but the mid-market rate quoted here is a closer guide for this pair than for a thinly traded one.
The rate moves for reasons that are mostly about interest rates. When one central bank raises rates and the other holds, money flows towards the higher return and the currency that pays it strengthens. That is why a rate can move a percent on a single announcement and then sit still for a fortnight. Anyone converting a fixed sum on a fixed date is not forecasting any of this; they just want the number as it stands.

Questions
What is a mid-market rate?
The midpoint between the buying and selling prices on the interbank market. It is the reference every retail rate is quoted against.
Why is this pair usually closer to what I get?
Because it is the most heavily traded pair in the world, so competition keeps the spread between buying and selling thin.
Why does the rate move?
Mostly interest-rate differences between the two central banks. Money moves towards the higher return, strengthening the currency that pays it.
Will my card give me this rate abroad?
No. Card networks apply their own rate and issuers often add a foreign-transaction fee on top, typically a few percent in total.
How current is the figure?
It comes from a daily public feed and is refreshed at most once an hour. The timestamp beside the result says when.
