cards. (Not I -- neither my credit cards nor my ATM card charge fees.)


So the actual exchange rates on your credit card statement are no higher
than the interbank rates for that day? You can check he

Very nice resource! Thanks.

They're not identical, but they're very close. Some days they're a
teensy weensy bit higher; other days they're a teensy weensy bit lower.

But I also get a rebate (I think it's 1%, and to my surprise it appears
to include overseas transactions), so I undoubtedly come out ahead with
the credit card.
