It is nowhere near what you would expect. I use my CC all the time abroad, and the fee is in normally in pence rather than pounds, and the exchange rate seems pretty favourable. The same with withfdrawing money from a foreign ATM (Most debit cards work around the world if the ATM has the Cirrus logo)
