Natwest Credit Card - use abroad

u2o

Hi All

I have a Student Credit Card with natwest and was wondering if anyone could help me. Im planning to buy a hotel room which is charged in Japanese Yen, on my mastercard with the above card. does anyone know what charges they put on, and what the exchange rate they use is like? couldnt find any info on their website

As its an advance-purchase room rate I need to secure the booking of the hotel with credit card which gets charged before arrival - so no chance of paying by cash in local rate.

Would appreciate any help

Cheers

Foreign exchange transactions are subject to a conversion fee of 2.75% (including purchase of foreign currency and travellers cheques). Exchange rate is Visa/Mastercard wholesale rate which is not far from http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/fds/hi/business/market_data/currency/default.stm

Cool thanks - is there any minimum coversion fee, as in minimum fee of £X.XX or 2.75%?? The hotel price is about 23 pounds.

Easiest thing as ever is to ask natwest

Looking on their site it states:

Foreign exchange transactions are subject to a conversion fee of 2.75% (including purchase of foreign currency and travellers cheques).

Other fees state a X% fee min of £Y so as it doesnt for this I would say there is no min fee
