But someone is charging you commission, I promise. Certainly if I make purchases with my £ credit card (Visa) in the US or Europe or anywhere, I get charged commission for doing so. I can't imagine that's not the case here? And don't Stars give you a cheque in $, which you'll then pay to have converted back into sterling? If not, this is fantastic news (especially for money launderers), but I fear there's got to be a catch.
