Do I have to pay foreign transaction fees when I use my Card?

Some American Express® Cards have no foreign transaction fees, while others may charge a fee as a percentage on purchases made outside the US.

To check if foreign transaction fees apply, review your Card Member Agreement, or visit the benefits page of your online account.

If you’re considering a new Card with no foreign transaction fees, you can compare card options and choose one that best fits your needs.

By using your Card abroad, you can also benefit from rewards programs and insurance benefits that are unavailable when paying cash. To learn more about these benefits, visit your online account.
