I've had the FX rate all across the board. Usually in the 2-3% range. Best international location was in China at a bit over 1%. Worst so far the PH SYD. I've gotten around some of the problems by paying in USD at locations where the rate was converted to local currency, but was priced in USD. (Jakarta)
While 2-3% is no big problem, the 5%+ that some locations want can add up to hundreds of dollars if you're on an expensive stay.
