    In the past we have been charged a "foreign transaction" fee for ATM AND credit card transactions while in Jamaica ............... percentage has been as high as 5% of the total transaction .............. these fees were over and above the usual fees charged for using another banks ATM ................... the games played with these fees led to a class action lawsuit which was recently settled and resulted in payouts to affected people, myself included .............. if there are credit cards and bank accounts that do not charge theses fees, please list them so visitors to Jamaica can maximize their vacation experience and not be forced to pay theses fees to the big banks.

    Capital One World Card and Chase Sapphire Preferred have no foreign transaction fees. Some banks (mine included) will reimburse you for out of network ATM fees.
