Canadians! Be cautious.
April 28, 2024

I'm from Canada and recently booked a flight ticket through SmartFares via the Kayak Canada link. Initially, before proceeding with payment, the amount displayed was $497.51. However, upon checking my Visa debit statement after making the payment, I noticed that they had charged CAD $537.52. The confirmation email I received indicated a charge of USD$375, which wasn't mentioned anywhere on the payment page just before I completed the transaction. They only showed the amount as $497.51.

I felt embarrassed by this discrepancy. It seems they automatically converted USD to CAD during the payment process but failed to inform me beforehand that they would be charging in USD. I'm certain of this because I happened to take a screenshot just before making the payment.

I first tried 2 credit cards both from Maybank, on Amex one Master both got rejected.
After calling with the bank, they said it was not rejected from their system.
After trying a Visa card, it worked.
After payment the page was not scrollable so that the confirmation content was not really visible
