QUOTE(xander83 @ Aug 26 2021, 02:21 PM) The worse rates are the spreads with another 2% by Visa What do you mean by the spread?  This Is multi currency card, so if you exchanged 100 GBP now for RM 581.20 and keep in the card as 100 gbp. in the future if you spend 100GBP it will also be RM 581.20 as you already stored 100 gbp in the card |
