My Experience with IBQ credit card

I have a credit card with this bank .. and recently i got the statement for my transaction in which i noticed that I am been asked to pay a higher amount than the normal exchange rate for all my internet transaction. I understand that the exchange rate are higher for internet transaction that normal exchange rate for currency. When I check with other banks they don't charge this high. The bank says it is the master card who charges this but I am not sure neither are they .. they are not clear and i am not happy with these hidden charges. If this is so I have a Visa card from another bank which is having better rate for net transaction. I want to share this info will all so all are aware of these hidden charges that go with credit cards...

They charged me a much higher rate and they said it applies to all internet purchases and transactions abroad.

I limited the use of Amex to Qatar only, I am happy with QNB visa and master cards.
