Default Credit Card Currency Exchange Fees, Be-Gone!

Credit Card Currency Exchange Fees, Be-Gone!
Q. During my last trip abroad, I thought I'd be smart and avoid the
hassles of exchanging money by just using my credit card for the most
of my purchases. But when the bill rolled in, all those currency
conversion charges really added up. A lot! My family and I are
planning a trip to Europe this summer and I don't want to get a bill
like that again. Are there any cards that don't charge for currency
conversions?

A. Actually, yes! This is straight from their site: "Capital One does
not charge a fee for using your credit card for foreign currency
transactions. Foreign purchases will be converted at the foreign
exchange rate in effect at the time of posting the charge."
