No Foreign Transaction Fees with Penfed Promise Visa

Most of you know that Capital One credit cards have no foreign transaction fees, but I haven’t seen Visa or Mastercard without one. Not until I saw the PenFed Promise Visa with no foreign transaction fees.  There is also no balance transfer(BT) fee and no cash advance fee, however it’s not 0% APR.

For those that are a little credit card savvy, you can use this no BT fee to your advantage.  Lets say you have a 0% 12 months Balance Transfer offer from another issuer. You can balance transfer to the PenFed Promise card, and your credit will be negative. You can do a Cash Advance or write a check from Penfed card and there will be no fees.

From the website:

PenFed upholds an unyielding commitment to bring you quality products with outstanding features. In this spirit, we created the new PenFed Promise Card that dares to combine the freedom of absolutely no fees with one of the lowest rates for purchases in the country!
