What I do is put the foreign amount in the Description as a note to
myself and guess at what the actual value is. I also mark the
transaction with "???" so I remember which onces I've fixed. Then when
it finally hits my account I correct the amount from either my CC
Website or from my bill, whichever I see first, and I remove the "???".
