Great thread. Now I know I'll be taking my MBNA card to Europe this summer (that is, after making a few phone calls to ensure info is still up to date).<BR><BR>To &quot;?&quot;: My MBNA card automatically turns my miles/points earned over to American on a monthly basis, so I recieve my miles w/o doing a thing. However, you're right, it's not one mile per $ spent, but rather a points per $ system.<BR>

Just cancel one<BR>Or agree to one of those balance transfer deals at 0%<BR>And you will receive EVERYBODY's best offer. Truly.<BR>Even if you normally pay off each month, just send half that once or twice, wait for the conversion offers to start rolling in, and just compare the disclosure sheets.<BR>Please report back if you have as much success with this as I did!<BR>

Ok- I have some more to add to the list- boy it was like pulling teeth trying to get info. out of these people over the phone...<BR><BR>It seems that MC has lowered their fee to 1% (1.13). Visa told me 1 % also.<BR><BR>Household bank does not charge a fee.<BR>(just mc)<BR>Advanta does not charge (only mc)<BR>Direct Merchants Bank does not charge a fee (1% Visa)<BR>Providian charges 3%<BR>Fleet- could not tell me what they charge (1% Visa fee)<BR>Normal Discover card is not taken overseas

I just got a &quot;Motley Fool&quot; Visa, ordered from the motleyfool.com website. No annual fee. It is with MBNA so there is only the 1% that Visa charges, no additional bank charges. This card gives you 1% back on all purchases at the end of the year, so you come out even on your international purchases, and ahead on the rest.

Thanks for the helpful information. Sal
