Paying for Booking.com from Egypt
In Egypt, fund Plu with local bank transfer or supported rails, then pay merchants that route subscriptions through US/EU stacks. Airlines, OTAs, and hotel chains often route payments through US or EU processors. If your card is treated as domestic-only, charges can fail — especially for holds, deposits, or same-day bookings. Even when a charge goes through, banks may add 2–5% on top of the exchange rate. A Visa built for cross-border billing — with balance ready before authorization holds — matches what global travel merchants expect.
