in Credit cards
as advised we use a nationwide credit card abroad and generally obtain favourable exchange rate. on a recent trip however we noted that several places also quoted a sterling amount and you signed to pay that value. it is after they charge you 3% commission (which of course they don't tell you).
be careful and insist on paying the currency value
