ORBX 47% off for 31 days

Recommended Posts

If I pay using my Amex card from the US and the charge is in AUD. not sure how much extra% exchange rate I have to pay...

Its becoming too complicated without Paypal.

Then I see this.

Dynamic currency conversion

The companies that provide this service say it’s useful because you’re “certain” of the rate you’ll be paying, but there is always an extra fee associated with it, and if you have a card with foreign transaction fees you’ll still get hit with a foreign transaction fee on top of it because the purchase takes place in a foreign country, so you could be paying an extra 7% or more on your transaction. With the exchange rate offered by Visa and MasterCard so competitive and easy to check there’s little reason to accept handling your credit card purchase in dollars when you’re in another country.

Unfortunately, some merchants like restaurants don’t always let you see the terminal, letting one of their employees swipe your card. And at those places make sure you ask to pay in the local currency to avoid the extra fee.

One trick – American Express does not allow dynamic conversion and its fees, so if you’re unsure, use your American Express card to pay and you won’t face that charge.

Wow.  That's more of a discount than the Christmas sale!  Isn't the Christmas one only 39% off or something like that?

Yes, he knows it was a sale.. he was asking if the discount wasn-t the biggest yet, even more than the one they have at Christmas...

Unfortunately, I missed this event, any ideas when Orbx usually/annually has sales (other than the obvious Xmas)?
