Do u get hit with a foreign transaction fee only if u swipe?
meaning if i pay online do i avoid that fee?

Usually depends on the location of the merchant, not at type of currency being charged, meaning if the merchant is based in the u.s. = no fee, but if they're foreign based there is a fee even if its being charge in u.s. funds

Just as a btw- the Marriot Premier card has no foreign transaction Fee. I did some research online and confirmed it with chase.
