Hi, is your calculation above correct?

I just checked on Visa's website and the JPY exchange rate on 25/2 (posting date) was 0.030649. Using this figure the AEON surcharge is 1.18% not 0.37%.

Thanks for pointing out, I used transaction date for the exchange rate rather than posting date. Which is incorrect.
