katgilm Posted March 29, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Many credit cards charge a fee for purchases in foreign countries. Is a purchase (payment of S & S bill) aboard a Carnival ship (embarking from the U.S.) considered a foreign transaction? Just checking so I know which credit card to use... Thanks, Kathi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Kathi Nope, you're good to go. Also, are you still being charged a fee? If so, I would consider finding another travel friendly credit card.

Thanks, Kathi My cards only charge a fee if I pay in a foreign currency (the fee is for the conversion) -- is that what you're referring to?

Thanks everyone! Bottled Red: Yes, I was referring to the currency conversion fee although I couldn't recall the name of it when I posted the thread. Mr. Golf: Only one of my cards doesn't charge a fee so that is the one I use when I travel out of the country. All the rest of the cards I have charge a fee.
