Is using credit card for S & S a foreign transaction

[katgilm]

Many credit cards charge a fee for purchases in foreign countries. Is a purchase (payment of S & S bill) aboard a Carnival ship (embarking from the U.S.) considered a foreign transaction? Just checking so I know which credit card to use...

 

Thanks, Kathi

Nope, you're good to go.

 

Also, are you still being charged a fee? If so, I would consider finding another travel friendly credit card.

It goes thru Miami so you are fine, althought Miami is almost like another country

My cards only charge a fee if I pay in a foreign currency (the fee is for the conversion) -- is that what you're referring to?

Thanks everyone!

 

Bottled Red: Yes, I was referring to the currency conversion fee although I couldn't recall the name of it when I posted the thread.

 

Mr. Golf: Only one of my cards doesn't charge a fee so that is the one I use when I travel out of the country. All the rest of the cards I have charge a fee.
