Foreign Cards for Travelers

June 28th, 2009

Are you an international traveler? Hate how all your credit cards and ATM withdrawals seem to have endless amounts of fees tacked on? Well, after extensive research, I have found the best of the best for travel finance. If you plan on traveling extensively or living abroad, it pays to check out these guys. They will save you a mountain of travel cash once you are no longer being nickel and dimed by international fees.

USAA is designed for military from the United States, and as such has a very international focus. Their checking accounts cover 10 ATM withdrawal fees from other banks each month, and they have no international use fees tacked on. This is the bank that I use now, and while living in Buenos Aires for the last year I have not incurred a single fee from using my bank card. The card works everywhere, and so long as you let USAA know where you will traveling and using the card, you will not encounter problems. USAA is usually reserved for military members and their families, but there are loopholes that can be exploited to get the account. Search online and you are bound to find them!

The Capital One No-Hassle Travel Rewards Card is the perfect credit card for travelers. There are no foreign transaction fees, which for other cards are generally 1-2% of each purchase made outside the United States. The card also gives 1.25 airline reward miles (usable on any airline) for every dollar spent with. This does not include the online partners Capital One has, where you can earn even more miles by shopping through the rewards website. Although you need a relatively high credit rating to be able to use this card, there is no better card for travelers!

    Hi Admin,

    I am Dorothy Parker. I have visited your website and I would like to congratulate you on building such a valuable online resource. I am sure your visitors find your site as useful as I did.

    My site also has relevant information in the same context, which I am sure your visitors will really appreciate. It would be great if we exchange links with each other. It would boost your search engine rankings, as relevant inbound links is the most important criteria for ranking on most search engines. It would also help bring targeted traffic to your site and reach out to a valuable, relevant audience.

    So, I think it would be beneficial for both of us if we will join in a community and become link partners to each other which will help your blog/site in getting more Google values. If you are interested then please contact me at my email-id.

    Have a great day.
