Is there any alternative out there? Thanks.
I'm not aware of any alternative unless you're willing to pay at least a 1% forex vig. The issue described in the article, however, shouldn't be much of a problem if you pay your balance in full each month. If you plan to carry a balance, then you should be focusing more on the APR than on the forex transaction fees.
