Does anyone know of any credit card companies that have lower than 2.5% or even no currency conversion surcharges....

Getting sick and tired of all the fees the banks and credit companies keep piling on

At this point, I think I will buy comission free travellers cheques but I wonder if they get you on the conversion rate at purchase (i.e. use a bad rate)

:eek:

Thanks

you with any charges but right now they only have VISA ones which I have not used.

I'll have to check and get back to you regarding the other cc. I know CIBC Visa just upped their charge, but can't remember to what.

Try buying TC'c from a credit union they are usually the best place to get them and even if they do have a fee it is usually alot lower than any banks fee.
