In all my travels, I always make it a point to contact my credit card company letting them know that I will be out of the country. In doing so I will have less credit card rates to pay and will have little problems to worry about.

Good post, you reaslly have to be careful with overseas credit card fees as some cards are very competitive and others add crazy surcharges. Here is Australia the banks tend to charge high rates.

Marcos and Kim – Thanks for the kind words!

Marcos, it should work. It sounds like a security lock may have been placed on the account/card or that she needs to find a different type of bank ATM. I know some can be a bit picky, though most are fair game.

Best bet is to call and get the details for the card, and make sure that they truly flagged it for international travel.

Great info. Would you have to activate a BoA debit card for intl travel? My wife is in Peru and none of the ATMs are accepting her card. It’s either that or pay exorbitant Moneygram/WestU fees.
