Which US websites accept UK credit cards?
Question : Which US websites accept UK credit cards?
I am from the US but live in the UK now and would still like to be able to order things from my favorite stores in the US, but unfortunately many of them don’t accept UK credit cards because I can’t type in a foreign address. Does anyone know which places accept UK credit cards or if there is another way around this dilemma? I am aware that Target and Victoria’s Secret definitely accept foreign credit cards, but I want to know of more! Please help!
mr ed, thanks for your answer, but unfortunately that doesn’t solve the issue of which websites actually allow foreign addresses to be entered. I know how they change the money and that it’s not a problem, but I need to find websites that will let me use the card, period.

most of these stores should accept you card — what happens is that visa will pay the companies in dollars and convert the charge to pounds (charge you a fee for the money transfer) and charge you account in pounds!!!
when you’re outside the US, what you need is a visa debit card from the US. use your uk credit card to open a uk paypal account, then use the paypal to buy the visa debit card. then use the visa card to buy from any US store online.
