Are the fees also capped for foreign cards?
I spend significant amounts of time in Europe each year (multiple months) and some of my US credit cards don't charge foreign transaction fees and also earn cashback on transactions done in Europe. I'm wondering who is losing money here - the merchant or the card issuer?
- realityking 8y agoThe cap only applies to European debit and credit cards used at an European merchant. It also doesn‘t apply to business cards or three-party schemes like AmEx or Diners (unless they‘re co-branded, due to a recent court ruling). Based on this, I believe it‘she merchant who‘s picking up the tab here.
