FOREX Fees with BOA

Although i knew that my BOA Cash Reward would incur FOREX fees, I used it since I don't think I have a card that doesn't have FOREX fee.

 

Man after spending 2 weeks overseas, Paris, Germany etc, I come back with $105 of FOREX fees yikes !!! I need an international card.

Yes but I wanted to revolve some of the account since it was an expensive trip. I was not looking to pay it all at once Smiley Happy

You should get a Discover.  No FT fee, plus it keeps that impulsive vacation spending down since nobody takes it.

Lol very true ..I was in Paris and no one would take AMEX. So I was forced to use my BOA Visa

Now Discover might be a bigger challenge.

I had this one but closed it a while back. In Europe, using AMEX can be tough. I should probably break out the CSP.

Could just PC that BOFA card to Travel Rewards if you need a no forex Visa / payment over time option.  The Cash rewards side usually is beaten by other lenders in terms of reward structures but I keep my Travel Rewards just for this reason.
