That was the exact discussion I had with AMEX 6 months ago when I came back from Paris - how can a VISA with a 2% fee have a much better rate than AMEX with a 2% fee? Eventually AMEX credited about $125 to my account (no doubt solely because I'm a good customer). But I was very disappointed - AMEX used to have great rates, now their conversion rates are awful, and even the rate their "currency by mail" service gave me was better than the rate for card charges.</font>
How did you manage to have AMEX give you the refund?
