Travel Info Which Credit Card Company does not charge several percent for using their card to make purchases in Europe? Travel Tips Most cc companies charge a 3% money conversion fee. It's generally a 1% fee from the CC company (Am Ex, MC, Visa) and then another 2% from the 'brand' (World Points, Citibank, Bank of America, Universal, etc.) Capital One absorbs the all the fees, but I've heard horror stories about their customer service. I have a USAA MC that only charges the 1% fee mandated by MC - they charge no additonal fee. With the cash back they offer (2%, i think), it all works out. Traditionally the CC companies can get a better exchange rate than banks, exchange companies (like travelex), or your hotel, so we always try to use them rather than cash. It also keeps us from having to carry around large amounts of cash and possibly losing it. The link below lists Capital One as having a 1% fee, so it would be best to call them to find out if you were looking into them. But as I mentioned, I have heard major issues about their fraud protection, so I would personally never hold one of their cards. JMHO. |
