Right now I am paying in Houston, in US $$ that they then send immediately to South Africa and get the rand exchange. So you would say, charge $5000 for instance and then they let me know the exchange amount in Rand and I post it to your invoice. You will see a US$5000 charge on your credit card.
Ngaire, so I take that to mean we will not be charged that pesky foreign transaction fee which most credit card companies impose? I am trying to recall, but I think our initial deposit showed on our credit card in US funds (thus, no foreign transaction fee). I only ask, because if we are going to get slapped with a foreign transaction fee, I better get us a Capital One card. I should probably do that anyway, since we've started traveling out of the US more often...
