[Idyllchat] cash and credit cards

[Irvjane at aol.com]

On the advice received herein several years ago we did the following and 
enjoy no-commission use.  (I don't know about the underlying exchange rate vs that 
offered by an issuer who charges foreign commissions or ATM fees.)

1) Capitol One Visa Card

We got one in Jane's name also, after reading a horror story in International 
Travel News magazine about a lady whose credit card was actually against her 
husband's account.  He died on a French trip and American Express promptly 
closed the account.  She couldn't use it to get funds for his cremation.


2) USAA ATM Card

We also now use USAA for our Internet banking, and find them very easy to 
use.  One does not have to be a service member or retired military to open a bank 
account.
