[Paddlewise] Exchange Rates on Plastic (OT?)

This may be a little off-topic (OT), but it affects my paddling in Canada so
maybe others can help out.  If it is OT, please email me directly, not the
list.  Thanks.

My VISA provider (Wells Fargo) is about to implement some additional charges on
transactions I make in other countries.  I can not quite make out the bankese,
but I think they will be tacking on about **three percent** for VISA purchases
made in other currencies!

I think I have enjoyed either no surcharge, or only a **one percent** surcharge
until now (change goes into effect May 1).

Anybody got a major VISA provider which does NOT tack on **three percent?**
