VX VISA w/ $149 fee - international transaction fees?

I'm sorry if I missed this, but I just searched through the terms of service w/ the card, and I couldn't find a mention about international transaction fees. Would like to take this card to London next week if there are no fees... but if there are, I'll take a different one. Thanks!

Yes, Comenity charges international transaction fees, something I wish at least the platinum card would do away with! Annoying.

The Platinum card doesn't, the Premium VX card on the other hand, does.

I may be the victim of a cruel joke, either that or they are still rolling charges into the rates (exchange rate looked pretty good to me tho'). I used it in the UK a couple of weeks ago simply because I needed to hit a certain level of spend for the first 5k amount of status points, no intl fee charged so far. It may change, tho' in my experience this is not usually something that takes this long. I have plenty of cards which officially charge no fee, so I may call Comenity and ask them directly, but so far it's looking like they do not.

YMMV
