No more foreign transaction fees for BA Visa

This email just arrived.

We want you to be among the first to hear about the end of foreign transaction fees for British Airways Visa Signature® Cardmembers. There is nothing Cardmembers need to do to enjoy this benefit. This is great news for everyone hoping to save money while travelling abroad.

Each purchase made will continue to earn 1.25 BA Miles for every dollar spent. This generous BA Miles Rewards Program, and an end to foreign transaction fees, make this the perfect card to carry when travelling internationally.

To learn more about all the benefits of the British Airways Visa Signature card visit http://www.chase.com/ba.

Warm regards,

Anne Tedesco
Vice President, Marketing

Please change the word "charges" to "fees" in the title. I misread it and thought it meant I couldn't use the card for foreign purchases. I know I'm not a shining intellect, but it could mislead others as well.

Thanks for posting. Good news and a great alternative to the BS 3% FT fee that Amex charges.
