    it will be treated as a cash advance rather than a purchase and charged accordingly.
    Dont know what what the rates are, check your paperwork

    Foreign currency purchases are regarded as cash transactions which charge interest from the transaction date until repaid in full.. The rate you will pay will depend on which Barclaycard you have. There may also be a cash handling fee (2.5% I think, increasing to 2.99% from 28 May).

    Edit
    Have a look at <Barclaycard charges from 28 May>.
