The credit card machine abroad asks DOLLARS or EUROS… which button are you pushing? 👀💳
If you said EUROS (or whatever the local currency is) you got it! ✈️
When you’re traveling internationally, a credit card terminal may offer to convert your purchase into U.S. dollars for you. It sounds convenient, but that conversion, can come with a less favorable exchange rate or additional markup.
So when you’re given the choice:
🇺🇸 U.S. Dollars
🇫🇷🇮🇹🇪🇸 Local Currency
👉 Choose the LOCAL CURRENCY.
Then let your credit card network handle the conversion.
Such a little thing…but knowing which button to push can save you money throughout a trip.
