Thread Name: BS: Anyone else refuse to get a bank card?
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else refuse to get a bank card?
I travel a lot, and I find a debit card is a terrific way to get cash when I need it. I used travelers' cheques until places stopped accepting them, and then I found that using an ATM was so much easier. If I can't find my bank, I go to WalMart and make a small purchase and get $100 back. My ATM card has worked well for me in Europe, and the fees are fairly reasonable. I've used an ATM card since the 1970s, and never had a problem.
