-- Price gauging with foreign transaction fees at Bank of America BankAmericard credit card -- I was charged a foreign transaction fee in the amount of 3 % of the transaction value for the purchase of a rental car at XXXX, which I charged to my BankAmericard credit card. The purchase was in XXXX. A nominal charge of 0.5 %, capped at a certain max. transaction value, would be acceptable and fair on transactions in foreign currencies, but 3 % is price gauging.
