RCI and OBC

[aussiedisneyfan]

I have an ANZ credit card and get hit with international transaction fees everytime payments are processed by overseas companies, even when the charge is AUD.

 

I have a 28 degrees card and use that for anything that may be processed overseas.

We've just got a 28 Degrees card which we now use for all overseas payments. I got sick and tired of paying higher and higher fees to Citibank.

Is that for Citibank credit or the Citibank Plus debit?

Has anyone purchased OBC and used Visa. How much did they hit you with their international transaction fees

It's not Visa, but depends which bank and even which card at that bank you have.

If you go to the website for your credit card provider you should find all the fees listed somewhere on there.

It is often around 3% but does depend on the bank.

I use ANZ visa to pay the deposit on the travel, a sit gets me Travel insurance.

I use 28 degrees for any overseas purchases (no fees) and the Citibank card for cash advances (also no fees).:D

BTW, I was able to pull out the unused OBC from the cruise, but it is not normally allowed. i had to put it through the casino in order to extract it.:D

Mic, we do exactly as you......same banks and accounts:p

When you drew out OBC, was that their OBC or some you purchased?

 

I am only asking as we have purchased quite a bit when it was $1 : $1, when I called RCI to ask if we could withdraw our OBC if unused, he couldn't tell me:rolleyes:

I thought I had read that they transfer it to your credit card.

We were charged $24 for an $800 Westpac Visa deposit :mad:

 

We use their travel insurance (for now).

Has anyone purchased OBC lately? What rate are they offering?

 

If I booked with a TA can I just ring myself and purchase still?

[ozscot01]

We've just come off Voyager and I withdrew my unused OBC at guest services on the last day. They gave me cash in US which I then used to tip the crew. I'll convert the rest back to Aus and probably have a win since it was pre purchased at RCI rates[emoji4]

Yes you can just call them yourself and gift yourself some OBC. They will give you the rate when you call.:D
