last time i heard ppl said using cc overseas can get better rate comparing to exchange to cash... but it seems like using cash is still better unless got rebate

not really. if you refer to the post above yours, the rate is 37.12 which is better than the rate obtained from my local changer. so it depends on your changer rate as well.

Not sure whether this was asked before but does all Aeon card has the same conversion rate ? (visa to visa comparison)(aeon gold vs aeon watami vs aeon big). They are all under Aeon Credit right?
*
They are all under Aeon credit, logically should be the same but no one used the 3 cards on the same day for comparison before.

Yes, can use CC. Advice you to call the bank to inform that you will be using your CC there.

From my experience, the rate is not much difference if I use it in Aus or at other oversea countries.

2.  visa or mastercard offer the better rate?

3.  use cash or credit card is preferred for u at australlia?

4.  is that easy to use the credit card in Melbourne like supermarket(5aud can use or not), starbuck, restaurant?

thanks for your advice.

1. From the data shared here, ambank wmc
2. In my opinon, it depends more on the bank, though i tend to use visa.
3. I used cc whenever possible
4. I used cc at kmart, woolsworth and another hypermarket before and at several diners.

may I know that why ambank can give the best rate?

I just call few bank that
maybank master/visa rate is 2.25 percent bank charge
other bank is 1percent charge.

since most of the bank give same charge, why ambank can give better rate?

as I know, mastercard rate is better than visa referring to visa and mastercard website. is that correct? or there is any hidden charge for mastercard.

thanks

i do not know myself as these are the info shared by some forumers. I have not tried ambank wmc myself.

for australlia and korea, they ask me to key in password when I use the credit card. so what should I do since I don have password.

where can I get the password or I just ignore it. thanks

Usually you can tell them you wish to sign and they shall facilitate it. You can request the pin from the bank..call cs to ask how. So far, i dont have any pin for all my cards

Yes, MasterCard rate is usually better than Visa. However, if the purchase is less than RM100, I believe you won't bother about the difference. In the case above, I believe you can conclude that Ambank MasterCard is having a better rate than Ambank Visa card.  thumbup.gif

Thanks for sharing. Settlement date is the transaction or posting date?

When a card has a benefit of No foreign exchange fee, means it is direct exchanged based on ecaxt rate with no mark-up from the bank and visa?

My foreign transaction is not posted yet. Is checking the available credit limit balance an accurate way to determine the final posted amount? Or will the floating value still change?

Ambank is super slow in reflecting foreign transaction. Transaction made on 28 May is still floating.
