3V and exchange rates

Pegasus15 · 2008-11-18 22:40:16

Hello, Does anybody know what 3V are like for their exchange rates? For example, if I was to buy something off Amazon or the like in £, would the exchange rate be favourable? Thanks.

does it not go by the current excange rate for the currency? I always thought it did and would never have thought of checking anything like that.

All banks and credit card operators use their own rate, which will always be lower than the official rate quoted on the news. The rates constantly change though, and I'd say you're as likely to get a good rate from one as another. It will never be in your favour though, the banks will always make their money.
