Rare little britain Posted February 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I use the Halifax Clarity MasterCard. It does not charge commission on fx, and you get the market rate. Never had any issues using it anyway including on RCI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneyboy Posted February 21, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I use a Post Office Platinum card without any problems. They don’t charge a conversion fee and the exchange rate is usually quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be a bit dim, but were you allowed to use this card and then it was "blocked " or were you unable to clear your account and had to find other means? I only ask as we have just taken out a Barclaycard Platinum card as they don't charge FX fees and were intending using it on a forthcoming RCI cruise.
