Foreign Conversion Charge Question

Going to Prague and Vienna.....intend to use credit card often. Is there a difference in the charge between Citi Aadvantage MasterCard and Chase's United Visa card?

Thumbs down

I think they each charge 3%.

Why use either one overseas, given their rip-off fees?

It is actually cheaper now to get foreign currency out of a Citi ATM overseas than charge things on a Citi card, assuming you have a Citi account.

Or get one of the much lower forex fee cards which are discussed at length in several threads. ^
