Hi all, I am about to shop with Amazon (US, if that's relevant at all) and wondering if anyone can advise on the best payment option. I didn't really pay attention on the payment method when AUD was higher than USD but now that it has gone
down, it's in my best interest to use pay with the best exchange rate and minimum transaction fee (if any).
It's best if the otpions are kept at general rather than down into the Bank institution. For example, which one is the best: Paypal, American Express (issued by local bank), Visa (issued by local bank), MasterCard (issued by local bank).
Thank you for your feedback. I am sure this will help others too.
Yeah the answer really depends on which institution and which card from that institution that you have.
If your card has zero overseas transaction fees then that's the best option.. otherwise it's all much of a muchness (ie they all rip you off), but seriously, unless you're buying $1000's worth of gear, you're only going to save a few dollars either way.
