Maybank Visa Infinite has higher exchange rate compare to normal m2u visa?
Hmm like that i use normal Visa will do. So Maybank mastercard is the best rate to use oversea? QUOTE(jchong @ Mar 6 2012, 10:48 AM) Thanks for posting. I read it already on your blog. Good to know that Visa is consistent across the different types of Visa card. For a moment I was concerned if VI had a worse exchange rate (in order to compensate for the 5x TP). Added on March 6, 2012, 10:51 am One comment, I notice that the forex rates quoted by Visa are generally a bit higher than MC. So the real diff between Visa and Master is a little bit higher than 0.25%.  |
