Which currency to pay with when selecting on CC reader?

Hello All,

I had a question I wanted to ask what FT'ers are doing in terms of paying with a CC internationally.

For example, when I'm in Hong Kong they ask me , "Sir do you want to complete this transaction in USD or HKD". Since I'm using my MileagePlus ClubCard, there isn't a foreign transaction. Should I be selecting USD or HKD to my best benefit?

Maybe it would be better to compare USD to CAD where the dollar conversion is never the same everyday.
