buying currency with credit card
Comments
-
In very basic terms, presume that buying currency on your credit card is the same as withdrawing cash. It's an incredibly expensive way of doing things.
When I buy foreign currency in the UK I usually pay in cash as even using a debit card may incur charges. Most of the time though I just take my credit and debit cards away with me and put most purchases on the credit card and when I need cash I use the debit card at the ATM
as I usually get a better rate of exchange than I would do getting cash prior to going away0 -
ok thanks i will just do that then!0
