    Do you mean that you're going to buy £100 worth of Turkish Lira from a currency seller using your credit card? If so then yes, generally you will get charged for doing this (although I believe there are a few cards that don't have a charge of you buy currency from the card issuer), and in most cases it will be treated as a cash advance so you'll be paying interest from the day you do the transaction.
  • yeah mean that.

    Thanks;)
