This is an old article from Year 2000 (still talked about strong $<g>), so the info. might have changed, but worth to check them out.

Foreign exchange fees
Here's a look at what major issuers charge for credit card purchases in foreign currencies. Cash advances are a different animal, so consumers should check with their issuer about the cost of those. Discover isn't listed because the card is for domestic use only.
Citibank -- 3 percent
BankOne/First USA -- 3 percent
MBNA -- no surcharge
Chase Manhattan -- 3 percent
American Express -- 2 percent
Bank of America -- 3 percent
Providian -- 3 percent
