Should you accept the conversion Amazon offers?
Amazon often offers to debit directly in francs, at its own rate. Let it debit in euros instead, and your bank handles the conversion. Compare both options once on your statement, then stick with the better one.
Does a Swiss card cost more in euros?
It depends on your card. Multi currency accounts and neobank cards usually apply a rate close to the market. Your statement gives the most reliable answer.
Does the price shown on Chipo account for the exchange rate?
Yes, the price is converted into francs, Swiss VAT included. Card fees are not included, they depend on your bank.
Is an Amazon gift card a good idea?
A gift card bought on a European site is valued in euros and used on that site. For a one off purchase it does not bring any particular advantage.
Amazon's rates and rules change, the final price always shows in the basket before you pay. Today's price gaps are on the homepage.
