2006/7/10-11 [Finance/CC] UID:43617 Activity:nil | 7/10 Citibank mastercard changes me 3% when I use the card in Canada.
WTF? What are some other cards that charge less? 3% is just
ridiculous.
\_ Capital One is supposed to be the only major credit card provider
left that doesn't charge extra for charging outside the country.

2005/12/22-24 [Politics/Foreign/Asia/Taiwan, Finance/Investment] UID:41121 Activity:kinda low | 12/22 Hi guys, I'm going to be visiting Taiwan next week. What's the best
way to exchange USD for Taiwan dollars? My guess is to buy AmEx
travelers checks (as an AmEx cardholder) in cash at an AmEx office, and
exchange the checks for NT$ at an AmEx office (for free) in Taiwan.
Is changing U.S. dollars in cash at the CKS airport for NT$ that much
worse? Thanks.

2005/9/3-4 [Finance/CC] UID:39469 Activity:moderate | 9/3 When you use your CC in Canada, what kind of exchange rate and
fee do they charge? I'm asking because I got ripped off by my
Chase Freedom card. They gave me a 0.8246 exchange rate even
though at the time, it was really 0.835X. They also attached
an exchange rate adjustment fee, which was 2.9%. What a rip
off! Are there other CC that give you a better rate? ok thx

system. VISA/mastercard phone support queue is based on how good
a customer you are (platinum vs. regular). My company's support
depends on whether the customer is a gold member or not. This
stuff has been going on for eons.

What's a good Visa/MC rewards card out there? And no, I don't intend
on buying a GM car.
\_ (MBNA linuxfund). no it's not just for linux it's for all open src
but opensrcfund doesn't sound as sexy. It's by MBNA and has one
time credit card number generation.

cash from your credit card, rather than bank transfer/check/wire?

\_ Jesus, you sure you want to do this? I think margin rates are
lower than most credit card rates. And this is a way quick way
to lose your shirt.
