		<description>I had the same issue. I was told that before they did not specify the foreign transaction fee in a separate line so it was embedded in the purchase. As always, these companies try to sneak some charges...</description>

		<description>The problem with Capital One is that their CC is no t widely accepted outside the US. In Singapore e.g., merchants I've approached have not heard of Capital One, much less would accept it.</description>

		<description>Use Capital One!  They charge no foreign transaction fees on their credit card at this time. See website below:

		<description>Hi
I have been using my Citibank Master Card (debit card) for all transactions outside the US since April 2006 and they usually charged 1% even for withdrawals from any ATM. They have announcd this month that effective Dec 2, 2006, they will charge 3% for all foreign transactions. Very dissappointing.</description>

		<description>Similar to the comment by Ramesh, I was told by Citibank that they had always charged the fees but it was bundled within the original charge and now they are showing it as a separate line item.  I just checked with Bank One (Visa) and they too charge 3% fees.  Amex charges 2% fees.  Damn, didn't even know about this for last 8 years and had used it at various countries.  Just because Citibank is now showing it as a line item everyone is being aware of it.</description>

		<description>Imagine my surprise when I charged my daughter's Canadian tuition on my VISA card - $12000 and then a 3% FTF!  I am looking for another way to pay going forward!</description>

		<description>Capital One only has a 1% fee which used to be bundled with the conversion rate, but is now stated as a foriegn transaction fee. I believe 1% is the lowest fee, and it was the one that was "always there" . The Citbank and others now charging 3% are just charging what the market will bear. Now that everyones fees are out in the open and not bundled maybe we can help them mend their ways.</description>
