I just called MBNA to ask about the foreign exchange charge and I was told
Starting on May 24, 2005, the foreign echange rate for Visa/MasterCard will be
3%, for its AMEX card will be 1%.
I asked why I didn't receive a notice about the rate which should be an
industrial common practice, I was told that's the information they have right
now, not sure if my account will be charged with the new rate or not.
Anyway, its AMEX card is still 1% and I can make some purchase befores May 24.

妈妈下个月要来美国,在dealt网站上查上海到纽约的票显示的是RMB价格,但价格
下面有个小计算机上显示USD的价格。本来妈妈说她在国内刷卡买,但我不想让妈妈出
钱,就用自己的HSBC信用卡买了(小抱怨一句,还是用HSBC platinum卡买的)结果杯
具了,发现账单上多出了一笔30多刀的foreign transaction fee interest charge。
打电话给HSBC好言好语求他们do coutesy waive掉这笔钱,客服死不肯。要求reverse
transaction,客服说你自己去和delta打电话,delta肯cancel票,这笔钱就一起
cancel了。问题是航空公司肯定不愿意cancel票的,就算cancel了也非得收个至少200
刀。
Google了一下foreign transaction fee,好像用美国的信用卡在国外用才会收这
笔钱的,原来网上买中国到美国的机票都算。
唉,就没办法要回这笔钱了吗?好郁闷啊,早知道还是让老妈刷她的卡了。

2. 从国航美国网站上买。
3. 从United美国网站上买。
4. 从United中国网站上买。
5. 从priceline上买国航的。
6. 从priceline上买United的。

去了下加拿大。用的CHASE FREEDOM,每次消费都会有FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE。。
同学用的,charles schwab bank的invest first visa 卡,就没有这个费用。。
而且这个卡所有消费都2% cash back,其他的再和freedom一样,特别的项目有5%,真
心觉得好啊,,可是网上一搜,
Thank you for your interest.
Schwab Bank is no longer offering the Invest FirstTM Visa® card or the
Visa® credit card with WorldPoints® rewards.
向大家请教下,,
1. 还有类似的不收FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE的卡么。。。。。
2. 之前就听说BOA的卡回国可以直接建行ATM上取钱。请问是需要开BOA的支票账号,搞
DEBIT卡么?还是BOA的信用卡就可以?
先谢谢了哈: )

刚问了客服,客服表示不确定。也问了通过Orbitz买有没有5%,也说不确定。

(1)如果是美国国内消费,FIA AMEX 由于2%返点的回报,基本可以算成申请其他卡的
机会成本。但是不可避免大家会有国外消费,例如回国,欧洲旅游。这里列举我所知道
的没foreign transaction fees 的卡,同时也希望找到这些卡的如FIA的benchmark,
也就是这类卡的机会成本。
(2)有些卡有些category回报很高,但是这里只算everything消费,因为估计除了宾
馆和机票,在国内的消费绝大部分只能算everything。
(3)其次,汇率好坏,根据我自己,同学以及版上的讨论,Discover>=BOA>Capital 1
>Chase>Citi,没有AMEX和PenFed的实战例子,请大神们补充。
(4)最后,这是不完全列表,可能有错误,请各位大神修正指出补充。
1% 意思是1cent/dollar,1% mile 意思1mile/dollar,其他类推

Capital One Cash Reward
Summary of Key Benefits:
Earn 2% cash back on travel purchases
and 1% on all other purchases
No foreign transaction fees
No annual fee
随便去看了下Capital One Cash Reward的介绍。
话说回国用的话,明显discover完胜啊。可以走银联消费这一点就完胜MC和VISA了。国
内的pose机基本就是银联专用机,MC和VISA接受的范围太小了。再加上No foreign

Banggood.com上面的东西是很便宜,能比amazon上的便宜20%~30%。但是东西是从香港
寄过来的。质量有问题退换很困难。
最近在上面买了三个大电容,用于置换行车记录仪的电池。装上第一个电容测试,发现
有时会丢失断电前的最后一个视频。换上第二个电容,就好了。估计是第一个电容的质
量有问题。我就联系customer service,说明原因,并要求给第一个电容退款或换货。
那边的人居然看都不看我的文字描述,问我要相片或描述问题的视频。我说电容外表看
起来都很好,给你相片也没用啊。我文字说明都很清楚了,为什么要视频啊。(我觉得
要我花半小时弄个reproduce problem的视频也太别扭了吧,花这么多功夫为了几块钱
的refund不值得,这跟amazon的服务差别太大了)
正打算看看能否叫credit card company给refund,靠,才发现还有3%的foreign
transaction fee。
无论refund结果如何,鉴于其货物质量参差不齐,退换麻烦,还有foreign
transaction fee,我都再也不会在Banggood上面买东西了。

但我估计这样的情况并不少见。具体我的情况,就认了。多交security & medicare 给

今后这样的问题估计还会有。版上有人说手填。不管怎么说,估计很复杂。
