TeacherClem Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 My husband is stressing that we're going to get charged loads because we are paying by credit card and it's charged in a foreign currency. I know there is a charge with our card but it's a normal thing to pay by credit card isn't it? We're not totally crazy for using a credit card are we??!

VERYSTORMY Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 You will get a charge, but there isn't any real way around it. But of all the costs involved in migrating it is about 3471st largest at a few hundred quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Make sure it's a Credit Card with a limit, and then a daily spend limit that covers enough, and then some, of the fee. I tried paying with a Debit Card with more than enough to cover the fee on it only to be told that my bank only allow 90% of that fee due, per day, as a max spend. Would have been majorly caught out if I was close to the 60 day application deadline. Advise making any payment early to allow for any banking issues. Oh, and tell hubby currency conversion fees are the least of his migration cost worries. B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
