Subject: Credit card charges on foreign transactions
Hi Ziners,

This is such a giving group...how could I fail to send this outstanding update on credit card charges to all of you!

The following article "Charge it...but check the math" was in Sunday's Washington Post in DC. Overseas, credit card transactions are often automatically converted to the currency of the cardholder's country of origin. It sounds swell, but it could be a bad deal. http://tinyurl.com/e3lcg
