Assuming your native currency is USD:

1) Use a No Foreign Transaction Fee credit card.
(http://www.creditcards.com/no-foreign-transaction-fee.php)

2) Go to the Adobe Creative Cloud webpage for the foreign country you are buying Adobe Creative Cloud in.
You may also need to change the currency used (very bottom of the page, lower right pull down menu).
(eg. https://creative.adobe.com/ja/plans)

3) Purchase using the credit card, fill in your information BUT MAKE SURE THE COUNTRY = THE FOREIGN COUNTRY'S CURRENCY you are leveraging.
(eg. PICK JAPAN if you are leveraging the Dollar to Yen exchange rate. Adobe bases everything off this apparently.)

4) Enjoy 17%+ off! (versus USD)
eg. US Creative Cloud Plan Page (https://creative.adobe.com/plans) $49.99 USD / month
eg. JP Creative Cloud Plan Page (https://creative.adobe.com/ja/plans) Y4980 YEN / month
Current Dollar to Yen = $1 = 120 Yen~

( 1.00 - ( 4980 / 120 ) / 49.99 ) * 100% =
( 1.00 - ( $41.50 / 49.99 ) ) =
17% savings!!

If you can lock in a 1-year Student Plan ~$240 - $198 = $42 savings =)

Tested this past week - works fine!
Full Creative Cloud activated with all features and downloads enabled.

Because various currencies fluctuate over time, you can check all the available countries of purchase prior to doing so to maximize your savings.
