Hi,
I make alot of international purchases using my credit card, but I always get a hefty "international transaction fee" on my credit card statement, which occurs when my credit card company has to concert australian dollars into US dollars, or whatever other currency i am making payment with.
Does anyone know of any australian credit card company that doesnt charge these conversion fees? or might have lower fees? Right now i am with commonwealth and they charge a 1.5% fee for this. I know it doesnt seem like much, but alot of the purchases i make are very large like over $1,000 and this fee adds up to be quite alot at the end of each month.
Cheers,
Chris
