It's best to call up your credit card company and ask them how much is the exchange rate if you purchase your product in another currency.
Most of them have different rates, and all of them will levy a fee for VISA or MasterCard.
Also, their rates may vary from time to time, so it's best to do some legwork for the cards you already hold.
