Today when I do payment for Tiger Airways for the trip from HCM-SING. The number is in USD and the website offers me to pay with the currency of my Visa card. It was about 400 USD and Tiger Airways asks me to pay 527 Singapore Dollar. I check the rate from Google and the number in Singapore Dollar is about 496. So I choose to pay in USD.
After do the payment, in my bank transaction, that transaction costs me about 516 Singapore Dollar. So I save about $11 :)
Lesson learned: Never accept the offer to pay in another currency in Tiger Airways. The exchange rate including the service fee is high.
