QUOTE(Nemozai @ Apr 2 2024, 10:29 PM) Hello. I’m travelling to Europe this June. Want to ask the best conversion from MYR to Euro is GXBank or Jumpstart or RHB MCA or Wise or CC(with 2-5% CB)? Credit card conversion all bad right. Now for most CC the miles collection also becoming not worth it. If you are aiming for airmiles, no choice la. Bite the bullet with whatever credit card.

QUOTE(jkngo2003 @ May 27 2025, 11:55 AM) long time no people update the best card for travel? i still use the sc jumpstart debit card. any other good card which better than it? thanks Depend on what you want. If you want to save money on foreign exchange rate, jumpstart is quite a good card. I use it for all my overseas purchases. But if want airmiles, then sorry lo.

QUOTE(sjz @ May 28 2025, 09:55 AM) i use Wise Card, TNG Visa & GX Bank DC since they offer 0% forex markup. i think their rate is among the best in town Wise rates not very good Vs jumpstart.

QUOTE(Steve78 @ Jun 1 2025, 08:11 PM) Anyone who actually checked would see that Wise is typically more expensive than XE.com, never the same. Exactly. That's why I never use wise or recommend wise.

QUOTE(sjz @ Jun 2 2025, 08:27 AM) taken into account 0.5%, yes it would be different. else, the rate is very same as XE.com. a very good example, as we speak now, Wise rate RM1= 0.2066 EUR Xe.com RM1 = 0.20664214 EUR VISA rate 1 MYR = 0.209731 EUR Mastercard rate 1 MYR = 0.21 EUR Wise add on fees while JumpStart doesn't add on fees.

QUOTE(!@#$%^ @ Jun 2 2025, 10:57 PM) but i suggest do comparison between wise and 0% fee mastercard rate. depending on the time of the day/week, one will be cheaper than the other. i made a mistake of not checking. made a usd1600 purchase on sunday, ended up about rm70 more as compared to wise when i used gxcard, which is the same amount as the mastercard site. checked again on next day monday morning, mastercard still showed the same 'weekend' rate. Wise memang expensive. That's why I never use wise at all.
