[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going somewhere where ATM's are plentiful (especially if there's a deal like BOA/Barclay's where you don't pay fees) I get just a little cash, equivalent of $150-200, in local currency ahead of time. I order it through AMEX to be picked up at a Travelex location for the best exchange rates I could find. This last trip I ended up needing to go to the ATM only one time the whole trip (a week) because everywhere we went and everything we did accepted credit cards.[/quote] Should note, though, that you should get a pin card if you haven't got one already, because nearly everywhere I've been in Europe uses this plus your pin instead of the mag strip readers.[/quote] We have been to London and Rome in the past two years and my husband has been to Paris and Brussels for business, and we have had no problem using our CCs anywhere. We have cards with the chip, but not the pin and they work fine. [/quote]
