I just recived notice that my Citibank card is going to be adding a foreign currency finance charge of 3.0% on every charge made outside the US. since I have begun to purchase more other region dvds this is no good for me. what are some good CCs that don't include this charge?

I don't believe MBNA does, but it's been a while!

ok, now my backup card(Capital One) is beginning to charge the 3% currency charge too. with paying the already higher prices of non R1 discs I really don't want to pay an additional 3% on each order. any idea if the amazon.com CC charges these fees?

I switched to MBNA's card for that reason and told the person at card I cancelled that was why.

I just realized my Amazon.com card will begin charging the 3% currency fee as well. I guess this means no more Amazon UK orders with that card. I'll have to double check my Capital One card since I had the 2 cardmember agreement forms mixed up.

Discover doesn't charge a conversion fee to Canada.

If you can join a credit union, I believe that their cards don't charge currency fees.

my walmart visa & citibank don't have that fee..

try calling them up & telling them you want to cancel your credit card because of that fee.. chances are they'll wave your account fee's

Yes, check with credit unions in your area. They tend to have less restrictions (for example, my Visa through my credit union never has a minimum payment due if I paid the balance off in full the previous month - I always pay it in full, but with no minimum payment due, if I happen to forget, I won't be hit with a late fee).

Be aware that Visa and Mastercard add a 1% fee. Then the card issuer can also add a fee. It is not listed, but just added to the charge of the item.

My MBNA has always charged a 2%. Just got a notice in the mail they will up it to 3%, same as Citibank.

my citibank just said the same to me, up to 3%
