Anyone been abroad where the USD is the local currency, and been charged an additional fee? I was in Turks & Caicos (British West Indies), where USD is the local currency, and I feared additional CC fees despite the charge being in USD. Accordingly, I used my Pentagon federal VISA card. According to that CC statement, no additional fees were assessed... but I'm just wondering what the experiences have been.

Interestingly, I did see Discover Card accepted at quite a few places in Turks/Caicos.
