international credit card fees booking online?

[mathgeek]

I'm looking to book online for a trip to DLP. I live in the US. In the past I've booked on the UK website b/c they had better pricing, and I used a credit card that I know has no international fees. Now I'm looking at booking on the english-USD site since it has better prices. The prices are listed in USD. Does that mean there will not be any international fees applied on my credit card if I use a different card and not my card without fees?

I hope that makes sense. Thanks!

You would probably have to ask that question to your card provider so they can check the rules on your card.
Since you pay in USD and your card is in USD; my guess would be no credit card exchange fees. But that's just a guess.

If the charge is in USD then no Foreign Transaction Fee would apply for a US Credit Card.

That said are you sure the price is cheaper? I recently went to DLP and checked the prices across multiple country sites and comparing the exchange rates, and paying in Euros was cheaper than paying in USD. (or any of the other foreign currency options.)

I've only compared to the UK site so far. I will check others. Thanks for the tip!

I just booked/checked. The UK site was the most, while the French site in Euros was very slightly cheaper (~1%) than booking in USD. I booked in USD anyway as even my no-forex-fee amex sometimes doesn't quite get the midmarket rate.

Booked last night and the international UK was $500 cheaper!
