我曾經提過, 如果使用CAPITAL ONE CARD在美國境外刷卡消費, 不會被扣手續費.
有格友詢問這一點, 我上網查證, 確定目前的確是只有CAPITAL ONE 不加收國外刷卡手續費. 花旗卡(CITI CARD)會收3%, 美國運通卡會收2.7%. 能省就省, 在國外消費就使用CAPITAL ONE吧!
CAPITAL ONE 有種不同的卡, 為了促銷, 有的卡會在你申請通過後就給10000點 bonus. 如果還沒有CAPITAL ONE, 不妨考慮申請一張好在國外使用.
對了! 還有一點必須提醒: 在國外刷美國信用卡時, 切記要以當地幣值刷卡. 不要選擇以母國幣值刷卡.
舉例: 回台灣刷卡時, 要求以台幣金額刷.
下面的表格是幾種常用的信用卡 Foreign Transaction Fee 的比較. 在國外以ATM領現金也會被扣手續費喔!
