Foreign transaction fees

[unsungivy]

Yeah, this is why a flat-rate card with a FTF is a no-go for me.

As an aside, I'm upgrading to the 5.25% for online shopping with the BofA CCR next month. Which has a FTF. Fortunately, it's down to only 1% with the same rank of status, so 4.25% still beats most everything else unless you have a store-specific card.

So I mentioned the problem to the vendor who asked for details (they think their site is US!) and I showed them the 40c charge and the MCC for "Computer Services".   They are now sending me another $40 product for the inconvenience.

Which now changes my whole message.   With some vendors, use cards with (small) FTF, might be worth it!

I think it's 10,000%.
 @longtimelurker doesn't waste time with anything under 5,000%.
