No International Finance Charges

Capital One cardholders aren’t comfortable on the fence. They either love or hate the uber-marketed credit cards from the company behind “What’s in your wallet?.” But there’s one redeeming feature to many of their cards that globetrotters can’t seem to give up. No international finance charges.

Get Capital One Platinum Prestige for... cheaper international credit card charges.

With the dollar in the doldrums and airfare soaring, credit card issuers are the pin-in-the-nailbed of leisure travelers with international finance charges of up to 3%. Not Capital One. I’m not sure if they get so much juice elsewhere that they can afford some charity or if Capital One realized that no international finance charges were a good hook, but it’s definitely working.

I’m surprised this message isn’t in their commercials. Maybe cards with kittens do truly sell better in a credit crunch.

Platinum Prestige Credit Card Reviews

This card comes with a good credit limit and reasonable interest rates. I have never had to pay annual fees, and the finance charges are minimal. I would highly recommend this card to people who have balances. I would also recommend it to people who don't, as I have been in both categories.

I never had this card myself but someone in my family does. From what I know, the interest rate is lower than most other cards. The card also has no balance transfer fees and no annual fees, ideal for people who carry a balance.
