Us ua website charged in euros
UA website was a little glichy. Finally found the right flights and was given price in Euros. Quick check on currency rate and thought "do not want to lose these flight" so said Ok. Chase Club did the conversion. At actually a good rate.
Had to change flights to different date and was told I have credit, IN EUROS.
Never had anything but a US address.

Happens from time to time if the site cookies get messed up. Clear the cookies and should get back to normal
Similar to UAL website language keeps changing to Chinese

Web Site defaulting to wrong currency
I show USA credit card and USA address. Every once in a while when I get to the payment page it changes currency and says based on my info.
Not always but yesterday gave me Turkish Lira, then when I went back gave me Rupees, then Euros.
I am not using a VPN. From LAS home and using Cox for internet.
I just went to app and did the purchase from there.
This happened on a regular basis last year but seemed to suddenly stop.
Any ideas on how I can stop this as prefer to use computer.

OK- thanks
Have cache and cookies set to empty on closing too. Did just do a manual dump.
Guess I was around the world in my searches.
Was interesting to compare with xe.com the slight differences. Too bad was not less in fx than USD
as no fx fee with AMEX Platinum!
