I was looking at my Chase United Airlines Visa statement the other day {I became a card member to get the 50,000 mile promo}. There is a transaction there from a store based in Germany where I regularly purchase stuff. No foreign exchange fee was tacked to my purchase.

This is not normally the case when I use Amex {Citibank version}, and my flexperks card. Those two cards always charge me a foreign exchange fee.

I wonder if there are others that have experienced the same.
