[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] You need the chip, you don't need a pin (yet). Seems like most credit card companies here have already sent out chip cards - I know all of ours came over the summer.[/quote]
