One more thing, for charges with the same card on the same day shows lots of differences too. the local processing banks (I have this happende to me in China, Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong) can impose another 3 % charges (ip to) on the exchange rate even though I was using the same credit card on the same day. Remember that we cannot choose the local bank. I find out after I return home reviewing the credit card charges.
