When applying for the card over the phone, I asked about this fee specifically and was told there was no fee for foreign transactions. Much to my surprise when I received the card and began reading the paper work there was a foreign transaction fee. I called the company to ask about this and they said it was a recent change, but they were indeed charging foreign transaction fees. So, don't bother switching to this credit card. You won't avoid any fees. I recently applied for and received a Capital One credit card specifically because it had no foreign transaction fee.
