Airbnb Charges a Foreign Transaction Fee (and This Is How You Beat It)
"The quickest way to avoid the fee is to go to the dead bottom of each individual listing. In the lower-left hand corner, there’s an option to change language and currency. Do not go to profile country (the point of sale) in your account because it just messes things up. Also, the footer settings seemed to override those preferences. That’s all there is to it."
"But perhaps the biggest sticking point here is that this hack only works if you have a credit or debit card that’s travel-friendly and doesn’t charge these fees, otherwise the savings are nonexistent. Disregarding that, it’s a no-brainer thing to tweak one setting."
