Hi all,
Been hooked on a F2P game for a while but recently started spending some money on the in-game currency and I'm mostly on Apple ecosystem and been buying discounted Apple gift cards to purchase the in-game currency.
Saw the 15% discount on Google Play gift cards recently and since I knew the game was also on Android I thought why not and bought some Google gift cards. I could logon to Android using bluestacks on my laptop to buy the in-game currency.
But I'm realising that buying something that costs $1.49 on Apple store will cost $1.69 on Google Play store which effective cancelled out the "5%" savings I thought I'm getting from gift cards. It maybe only $0.20 but it's basically ~13% difference on the currency conversion. (Hope I'm getting my math correct).
My question: How is Google and Apple currency conversion so significantly different?
umm why are you relying on google or apple to convert ?
Just use a non international transaction fee card like Combank Low fee gold CC, latitude CC, ING debit card, Macquire debit, or HSBC debit and so on etc.
