Boo to Overseas Transaction Fees
I'm kinda' upset. That great credit card deal I recommended some months ago that offered 150,000 bonus frequent flyer miles . . . charges overseas transaction fees! I paid in Swiss francs for a hotel deposit in Switzerland with my Citi® Platinum Visa AAdvantage card only to receive the bill with a big, fat 3% fee! The exchange rate they gave me was right on for that day (1 Swiss franc = $1.09) but then the fee was over $16.00. I'm not happy. I've never been charged transaction fees by my Capital One Visa credit card. Guess that's the one I'll be taking on my trips.

we used USAA credit card while in Honduras and so far they have refunded all of our fees.
