Ozbargainers!
Has anyone purchased through the website and noticed that it shows billing in AUD, but when i saw my ANZ CCard it shows charged in USD>AUD?
Is this normal or a billing error with CheapoAir?>?
In total i have paid extra $30 in feees/conversion going with them when i thaught it was cheap now has gone more expensive then other online flight websites :\
there is a new forum topic on this every other week.
the fee is charged by your bank not cheapoair.
dodgy cheapoair.
doesnt disclose the fact that they are charging in us$.
It states on website and email that I received that billing/charge is in aud and not USD…
that's correct.
the website is charging in AUD.
The charge you are seeing is coming from your bank for processing an international transaction.
this is a new thing as recently as august this year.
basically they want a slice of the pie.
I just had the same using lastminute.com.au paying with my citibank.
Paid in AU but got charged $30 fee
the fee is from your bank for handing an overseas transaction.
the website appropriately charged in AUD.
The bank is charging you an overseas transaction fee.
So I was just about to book with cheeapoair, and I assume the above still stands, but for my future reference how do I know if it's going to charge from an overseas place or an aus bank if it's showing in aud?
will using citibank debit avoid these fees?
28 degrees credit card is the way to go for international travel and transactions
You would have been charged a fee from ANZ even if the transaction was in AUD.
