We do have US debit account.
Where do you hide some important things in a RV.
When you use most Canadian issued cards in the US, the issuer adds a 2.5% foreign exchange fee. This is the first thing to watch for in choosing a card. The only Canadian card I have found that doesn't is the Amazon Visa card issued by Chase Bank. It also gives 1 point per dollar (1%) that can be used on Amazon purchases.
Other Canadian cards work well in Canada, but choose based upon where you shop and what you use.
I'm curious if any other Canadian has found another card that doesn't charge the 2.5% foreign exchange fee.
