US credit card use in London
Not sure I totally understand this, so I will just toss out the numbers
from my statement, all transactions seem to have "about" the same percent charge, this transaction occured on Aug 15, 2006 on a Chase VISA card. GBP 1271.18 x 1.89553071 + 72.28, charge on statement is US $ 2481.92 My calc shows the effective rate as 1.9524536258 *note when I worked out the first line by hand I got a difference of 72.36 instead of 72.28 as shown on the statement. Bank of America ATM access through Barclays was GBP 250 for $477 which is only 1.908, a MUCH better exchange rate. Unfortunately both the credit cards we used were from Chase, so I don't know how it compares. Anybody else have some recent transactions from other credit card providers. |
