Best way to pay

Hi
In order to keep costs to a minimum, I was hoping someone might be able to advise how best I can pay for an American online course (payment in US dollars). I assume I am likely to pickup a charge if I pay by my credit or debit card.
Are there any services available that will prevent any charges being associated. Probably being too optimistic but thought I would ask.
Thanks

Why you would incur a charge? If you are paying online, I believe you'd only see the effect of FX difference. I'd speak to my bank first to see what they charge. You can also try Paypal.ally.0

In case you haven't seen it, there's an MSE article about foreign transaction card charges (best and worst cards etc): http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money
There's another MSE artice about other (potentially cheaper) ways to transfer money to foreign bank accounts here: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/foreign-currency-exchange0 -
Thanks for sharing the links. Yes you are right I hadn't seen the links and actually struggled to find the right place to post. Appreciate your help.0
