3. You are not comparing apples with apple when discussing the 28 Degrees Card and the Visa Debit procuct from Citibank - Mastercard as the scheme who does the FX conversion changes the transaction into USD before AUD so there is effectively a double conversion. It is my understand that Visa do not do this...
That's not the reason for my comparison. I think you have missed my point.
I'm not comparing whether Visa or MasterCard gives me more EUR for every AUD.
I'm comparing whether Wizard sticks closer to the rate MasterCard sells at, or Citibank sticks closer to the rate Visa sells at. This is why my comparision shows how much "off" is the rate I was sold comparing against the rates of individual card scheme of the respective cards, not comparing the money I got from each of the cards.
