I agree with Exmo that this is a big deal. (Thanks as always to GuyBetsy for the scoop.)

Do other Oneworld airlines do this? For purchases in all currencies other than USD/GBP? Or just some?

I realize this is awfully undocumented so hard to know. But the 2% difference -- on a many-thousand-dollar ticket -- could be enough to shift a purchase from one country to another. (Could make it worth going to Canada rather than buying in the US, etc.)
