How could I reconcile bills if I don't know what the hotel had debited to my card, I asked.
The rep told me that there is no way to do that online. But, looking at the actual monthly statement (which, fortunately, did arrive), the original FX amount for each transaction and the conversion rate is clearly displayed.
Why should the largest bank in the US (the world?) not be able to link their credit card system properly to their online banking platform?
Why should a customer have to wait for a monthly statement to arrive before knowing whether a merchant, hotel, restaurant, SNCF, or whatever has correctly debited the EUR (or JPY, CHF, GBP) to your Chase Sapphire Reserve card?
How can anyone, for personal or business needs, be unable to verify transactions are properly charged until their Chase Reserve credit card statement arrives, often many weeks after a transaction takes place?
Yet Chase brags about all of the money they are spending on IT????????
For any transactions I made using Google pay, it shows the original currency which I can then reconcile against the Chase app so there's that at least.

The rate to Argentina pesos is all over the place
