It seems you may have to pay in local currency now, rather than dollars. I am trying to buy a RTW ex-France now, directly from UA. UA is saying that if I pay with a US-based credit card, I must pay the US price which is much higher than the France price. So I told them I would pay with a card based in France and they are now re-quoting my cost to €5300-something rather than $7900.

Has anyone else seen this new restriction?
