Thanks for the response.

I am really trying to discover if there is a US based FTer who has purchased a DONE through One World's online system and whether they were charged any conversion fees etc by their US bank.

In other words are the credit card payments for the online system processed at one central location or are they processed at the local office of the One World carrier?

My acct is at the Bank of America.
