Can anyone here confirm how Mindpearl charges show up? I'm trying to decide if it's worth paying the ~3% foreign currency fee with Citi or use a Chase BA or Hyatt card. I figure if I'm getting 2x AA miles it may be worth it.

I paid with my Capital One to avoid 3% fee:
03/07/2014 AMERICAN AIRLINES V & A WATERFR 00000 ZA
8,700 miles/dollars X 3% = $261
at $0.02 per mile that should be 13,050 miles equivalency
