| If I were to buy some stuff for my car online and pay with my credit card, will I get todays exchange rate? Or is the only way to get up to the minute rate is by sending a money order? |

Remember that when paying with a CC the CC company will charge you a percentage above what the current rate is as their fee, and build it into the conversion rate.
As well, I assume you've already considered the benefits of ordering with a CC (Certain ones will give you increased warranty, you have more of a guarentee if the parts don't come, etc...)... |

| Plus with a CC, you won't ever get the actual current rate. You will get whatever current rate the CC company is willing to give you. There's going to be some spread built-in, always. They won't pass up any possibilities to stick you a little more........... |

just so you know, what to expect.
I just bought something with paypal on my CC.. (Mastercard)
2 days ago i got a rate of .797569852
so it's not up to date... but still pretty damned good, bettert hent he .64 i was getting this time last year.
Still, it all comes down to what you buy, i think
If the difference is +/- .02, on a large item that may be lots, while on a smaller one it might be a couple bucks... so just buy it anyways i say. |

Meh, maybe I'll just buy from the dealership.
I want to buy some Nismo gear and after shipping and brokerage BS it's only like $20 cheaper than the dealership. |
