Why Can't FSS Charge in Other Currencies?

Featured Replies

I just bought FTX G and I had to pay a ridiculous amount of conversion because I was charged in Australian dollars. Why can't they just charge in other currencies as well?

Its based out of Australia so perhaps that's the issue, that would be where they bank, and they don't want to pay bank conversions on money from other nations.

 

When I travel in my RV into USA, the first thing that happens is that I can't use my Canadian money and even if it's at par or above Us$ I get dinged charges for converting over....drives me nuts how much I "lose" just because of banks and the banking machine...even though I do all the work and pay such exorbitant banking fees.

Because they don't want to pay the conversion? Sooner or later the transaction has to convert to their currency and you're the one who pays for the conversion.

Yeah it sucks. Why can't the world just have 1 common currency.

Because good business practice is to charge in the same currency you pay your expenses in.

This thread will get too dirty and will get closed. I'll bet my last Dong on it! :O

Causing the closure of a thread due to rampant dirty jokes is one of my life goals, but just for you here's something more aviation related to keep it clean.
