Hello

At the end of November we go visit an old friend who moved to turkey(istanbul) a long time ago,as i understood is a good place for shopping,i wonder if my cards will work ATM/ or POS paying without PIN like in USA with my signature.I have visa signature and visa platinum, and my wife has a signature and my son visa gold, if matters what type they are.Will the POS limit change?

Thank You

Your post concerns Turkey but is posted in the US forum and tagged "Wisconsin". I'd repost in the Europe forum.

In general you can use a debit card overseas just like a credit card, but it's a really bad idea since the money comes out of your account immediately. But your ATM cards will work there if you use a machine attached to your network, and that's usually the best way to get local currency.

I very much doubt that you'll be able to use a credit card in the Grand Bazaar except at some of the more expensive carpet and antique stores.

Probably. However, if you want to avoid transaction charges get yourself a Capitol One No Hassle Rewards Visa card: http://www.creditcards.com/Capital-One.php
