I recently traveled abroad (Austrailia) and my credit card (toys r us Visa) and got hit with a bunch of transaction fees for using the credit card abroad. Does anyone know what credit cards (no fee based cards) that do not charge these fees when "charging" internationally?
Thank you.

MBNA is one of the few companies that doesn't charge the transaction fee if you travel outside of the country. Most banks charge around 2-3% of whatever you purchase. You can call customer service 24/7 at 800-421-2110. They can tell you more about the cards and fees.
