It was, but the exchange rate fee at the time was worse than using one of the 0% FTF cards that I had. I was more curious to see how it would work and what the exchange rate would be. Supposedly there is no FTF now, so you should be free to give it a go. This is one time where a form of DCC is in the customer's favour (favour? ).
