RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Directly avoids the 2.5% foreign transaction fee on USD purchases.
- Earns 1 Avion point per $1 USD spent, which is excellent for a currency-specific card.
The Trade-offs
- Annual fee of $65 USD is steep if not used frequently.
- Requires a USD bank account to pay off the balance without incurring conversion fees elsewhere.
