I've read in numerous threads that MBNA and Capital One Mastercards/Visas are one of the best cards to use overseas because they do not charge extra conversion surcharge? Has this changed?

Also - I heard credit unions issued Visa/Mastercard do not charge extras as well - can anyone confirm? The people I talked to at my credit union doesn't seem to know.

Thx!
