Sharing some data from my recent trip in using MB Visa card.

Attached Image

Dont know why the Norway one is so high.

One more tip, I was asked whether to charge my card in RM or riyal at Doha airport. I selected RM. Mistake! Didnt know they charged 3.5% for this RM selection!

If I stated riyal, then the conversion by Visa should still be at 2.5%.

I converted some RM to Euro thinking some places may not use card. Later converted some Euro to Norwegian krone. So lugi already with RM-Euro conversion, lugi again with Euro to Krone conversion!

Best to use card when possible is my learning from this trip.

Cheerio.
