International Hotel booking via Agoda | Credit Card charges

[uzziee]

Hi All,

I am planning to book international hotels via agoda using my Axis Magnus Burgundy card.
I wanted to do understand whether I will have pay forex fee, DCC charges etc on top of the hotel booking amount

If so, can someone help me with the calculation of these extra charges when booking hotels worth 1Lac.

Should I pay in INR or EUROs via agoda ? I am confused when it comes to DCC charges

Thanks

If you are paying in foreign currency (Euro or Dollar etc) then forex charges apply.
When merchant is converting foreign currency to indian rupees and you pay in INR then DCC applies.

If Agoda is already showing INR price then no DCC charges. Check your credit card forex charges, accordingly make the decision

Easy bro, try doing transaction with international transactions off, if it goes through then no forex charges, else turn on international transactions on and there will be forex charges

I always pay in the currency of the hotel. You’ll get mastercard / visa conversion rate for today + 2% forex conversion on card. Always ends up lower than paying in INR.
And yes, DCC will be charges for Agoda if you pay in INR.
