MBNA recently decided to surcharge foreign transactions on some of their
Mastercard and Visa credit cards. Previously, MBNA was one of the very few banks that did not add their own surchage on top of the M-C/Visa network exchange 1% fee. I received a notice that one of my MBNA credit cards (not AOPA) would be subject to the new 2% MBNA bank foreign transaction fee (plus the old 1% network conversion fee for a total of 3%). However I never received a notice for my AOPA card. Is this a fluke--have others received a fee notice for their AOPA card? I know that MBNA's AAA (american automobile association) does not have this charge due to an agreement AAA has with MBNA, so I'm hopeful maybe AOPA has the same agreement and no extra fee. Credit cards are still one of the cheapest way to convert money, but banks adding their own fees after the network converts it to US dollars is something I'd rather avoid. (Many credit unions do not do this, although I don't want another credit card at this time.) Some of the new fees apply for all foreign transactions, even if it was already in US Dollars. |
