I just found out that some credit card companies (eg Chase and lots of
others) charge both the standard Visa or Mastercard 1% foreign
currency fee plus a 2% Chase For Curr Transaction Fee - total of 3%.

Anybody know good places in the US to get cards that don't do this?

I found this out when I charged my husbands cardiologist bill on my
AT&T Master Card in the Bahamas where the Bahamian $ is on par with
the US $. I thought it pretty lame.

I called all the cards to find out before I left for England. My USAA
Master Card, and my NFCU Visa did not charge those fees. My Shell
Master Card (Chase) and the AT&T card did. I'm not sure about Sears
Master Card or the Amaco BP Master Card.
