NZFF

Thinking of that product priced in US$ like that latest game , DVD or piece of Hardware?

Nows a good time to buy with a exchange rate of nearly 75cents US to our 1NZ$ thats the best exchange rate for many a year if ever.

Too right - the credit card is bleeding as we speak, I've been out shopping for airports to fly between, using my newly-rediscovered Capsim 757.
Whoo there are some splendid goodies out there.
Most of them have movement when you arrive, and do stuff.
Could I ever again fly heavy metal into an airport with no active guidance, moving jetways, or pushback trucks?
Probably not.
And I'm talking FS2004, not FSX.

I have just purchased the HTAI models, FSD C337, and may get the "727 Captain" (CaptSim) for FSX, now I just have to get to the credit card statements before the wife does!

bearing in mind that credit card companies buy currency at their 'buy' rate (which is lower), then charge you 1.5% (or thereabouts) for the foreign currency exchange- probably only a few dollars, but worth considering.

then charge you 1.5%

actually... you'll probably find its like 2.5%... the banks charge like 1% and VISA (or Mastercard) charge another 1.5%...

highway robbery considering the bank is already giving you a rubbish exchange rate!

I find XE is the best. When I want to buy something I convert the price using xe

Depends on your credit card company the one currently using does not charge a Servicing Fee as they cal it.

what company is this?

i would dearly love to do away with 'foreign currency conversion' fees... they basically came about because everyone figured out you were better off using CC's instead of buying foreign cash and/or travellers cheques when travelling...

I preferred to just stick the card in an ATM and get foreign cash... pay like $5 but it was cheaper than going to the bank's currency exchange...

not so much anymore with these stupid charges...
