Hi
Is there a fee for using credit card overseas?
It's called a foreign-transaction fee. If your card has one of these fees, it'll charge you up to 3 percent of the purchase price every time you swipe overseas. Your credit card network, such as Visa or MasterCard, usually takes about 1 percent. The issuing bank eats up the other 2 percent.
alright in a emergency but not all the time
In summary, here are our picks for the best credit cards for international travel with no foreign transaction fee:
Capital OneŽ VentureŽ Rewards Credit Card: Best for hotel purchases.
Chase Sapphire PreferredŽ Card: Best for flexible travel rewards.
Capital OneŽ VentureOneŽ Rewards Credit Card: Best for no annual fee.
