lionkingZ Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi there, I did do a search and found some overlapping threads, but thought it might be best to start my own to address my own concerns. I have never owned a credit card before but I am interested in getting one because I think it might be the safest card that I could carry when travelling abroad for a prolonged period of time. However, as I'm so uneducated in the matter, I don't really know what I should be looking for. What are the main things to look for when getting a card? Will I be limited in choice because of my lack of credit history? Is getting a card for travel a good idea? I was planning on taking the credit card, then paying this amount off immediately from my debit account each month. Thoughts? Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Credit Card purchases are an expensive way of doing things as you are at the mercy of the card company's exchange rates. How long is "prolonged"? Why not open a local bank account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
