Just noticed the 3% "exchange rate adjustment" on our credit card charge for our apartment reservation in Montemarcello: 2% for VISA and 1% for the bank. Anyone know of a good credit card with less charge?

Capital One does not add any charges for currency conversion.

We use Capital One, but as a backup CC we also have one from our credit union..... they don't charge the extra fee either. If you belong to a credit union you might want to ask them about their policy.

We do have a credit union card. The credit union does not charge a fee, but VISA charges 1%.

USAA doesn't add anything to the 1% VISA/Mastercard surcharge. I am applying for a Capital One for my next trip......
