Avoid Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Cards This Winter Break – Credit Card News
If you are traveling abroad during the winter break, consider which credit cards are cheapest to use overseas.
With the pound faring poorly in relation to the euro, Emma Roberts, director at Santander Cards, noted that winter sports enthusiasts and other travelers face racking up significant bills during their trip.
Some of the best credit card deals available in the UK may not be a good deal on foreign soil, with some cards charging high fees for transactions made in other currencies.
“The average cost of a winter sports holiday may now be higher than at any time since the turn of the millennium, but one way that winter holiday makers can avoid unnecessary additional costs is to use a credit card that doesn’t charge them,” Ms. Roberts stated.
She then noted that the Santander Zero card has no foreign exchange fees on spending anywhere in the world, which makes it perfect for holiday makers looking for the very best deal on their spending this winter.
