I got a Cap 1 card years ago, specifically for Belize b/c it didn't hit me the 3%. Charges in Belize always in BZ$, they, the CC co, adjust based on that days market(it is not 2 to 1 on your cc)


My main question was if charges could be made in US$. The rest was thinking out loud, personal reasons for which card to use. Come to find out all my cards charge a fee. But you're correct in that there are cards that do not charge fees and I will need to look into those. Some may not charge a conversion fee but their annual fee (see MARYMO's American Express Platinum) far outweighs the 3% conversion fee for our once-yearly international trips.
