Hidden charges- shocking

“Hidden charges- shocking”

Written on: 12/08/2013

Having just returned from holiday where I used my Tesco credit card to try and collect point - I was shocked to receive a 2.75 foreign exchange fee. I have travelled frequently over many years using my HSBC mastercard and VISA barclaycard and have NEVER been charged a fee. On calling Tescos bank I was informed " we are trained to say its a fee mastercard charge" This is rubbish because my mastercard has never charged me this fee. This is a hidden charge that Tescos is palming off onto their customers. I have shut down my card after being told I have to pay £50 of fees - contradicts the points they encourage you to collect. Really disappointed. I wish they would make it clear that they charge abroad, had i known we would have paid in sterling and saved money.
