Just to note that EB MasterCard use the same "Nordea cash exchange rate" and another small con is that they charge 2eur monthly invoicing fee above annual fee, which is unheard of in credit cards issued by banks.
Good points!
Amex also used to use a sucker forex rate converting to EUR via USD, now it seems to be "normal". Of course being in the € zone we can rather widely use our cards without any forex headaches (as opposed to the good ol' times with the markka)
The EB MC monthly invoicing fee is a scandal (and the issuer IS a bank - SEB)
