AliExpress™ can charge you either in a selection of local currencies or in US Dollars.
Today, I tested their conversion rate against my Tandem cashback credit card.
With a charge of USD20.56 the exchange rates were as follows:
| £ / $ Exchange Rate. | $ / £ Exchange Rate. | |
|---|---|---|
| AliExpress™ | 1 / 1.3062 | 1 / 0.7656 |
| Credit Card | 1 / 1.3307 | 1 / 0.7515 |
Using the credit card to convert from Dollars equates to a 1.8% saving. I'll take that.
