My concern is A+ using a worse rate for large transactions, mentioned by some of the posts here. They also say it started in Jan 2016.
I haven't been able to independently verify this. My transactions in Singapore were not all huge enough and the results were inconsistent.
I still tend to believe A+ doesn't do this dirty thing. But who wants to gamble on a $1000 charge where the potential hidden fee can be over $10?
I've just done a large AUD transaction on my A+ so will let you know when it posts.
If they're adding 1% then the A+ will see the shredder as large foreign spend is the only reason I still keep it.
