I do enough foreign travel to prefer these type of credit cards. Believe it or not, I prefer to have that money in my pocket rather than paying those ridiculous foreign currency charges. MBNA used not to charge a foreign currency transaction, but they've changed their policy in this regard.

Does anyone know of a credit card that doesn't have this odious insidious little policy?

My Creidt Union card never did, so I guess I'm just lucky?
