Will I be charged any fees when using my credit card in Canada?

Answer

Many credit card companies charge an international transaction fee for purchases made outside the United States. This fee typically ranges between 1-3% of the total transaction amount. We recommend checking with your credit card provider to confirm any applicable fees before traveling to avoid surprises. Some cards may also offer fee-free international purchases, so it might be worth inquiring if yours does! Otherwise, we recommend getting cash!
