    i made a purchase on Amazon using my credit card...right after i clicked to pay, napansin ko that the forex rate was 47.++...when the BSP reference rate was 44.++

    So i was thinking baka mas matipid if i used a USD credit /prepaid card; even if you buy USD here...di naman siguro ganyan ka-taga ang selling rate ng USD?

    Don't pay in local currency. Pay in USD so the conversion rate that will be used is by your credit card company. Mataas talaga conversion rate ng Amazon. Okay din naman bumili ng USD pero mas tipid pa rin paying with your local credit card.
