in Credit cards
i am going on holiday to the USA in a couple of months and initially was planning to pay for everything on my credit card and setlle the bill when i got home. I thought that this would be better and cheaper than exchanging sterling into dollars/travellers cheques as i have usually done.On checking both of the c/cards that i have charge a 2.75% transaction charge and all of the other cards that i have looked at charge the same. Is this the best and cheapest option or is there somthing better that someone can suggest
many thanks

Get yourself a Post Office/Nationwide/Abbey Zero credit card before you go ! None charge a foreign transaction surcharge.0
