Credit card charges at Termas
If anyone reported this, apologies for the double post. Rio Termas (went to 4 x4, MC and Solarium) are charging ridiculous Credit card upcharge. I will do a quick write up soon on the recent trip.
Please see attached pics
Not just in Brazil, but anywhere!
[QUOTE=Bravo;2875317]I have been searching for the post but can't find it. About a month ago, someone posted some great information on which option to choose if you are paying with a credit card. One of the two (Dollars / reais) was the better deal. Anyone remember the post?[/QUOTE]ATM or not, always choose to pay in LOCAL CURRENCY with a credit or debit card. Always decline the currency conversion. Not only that, but check store receipts even if they don't ask. Some crooked proprietors will try to pull this scam without even telling you. I must confess I often forget myself, and when I come back home, always find 2-3 receipts with dollar conversions I've never authorized.
