If I remember correctly there is no way to attach your US dollar account to the bank card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave994 Posted July 14, 2022 #52 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Thanks everyone for the information. I think I will just withdraw the cash before the trip and use the CC for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, had very understanding in-laws 🙂 Have a second card now, gets used for almost nothing but it is there...just in case... Very wise advice, carry multiple cards. Some years ago I flew from the Middle East to the USA. During the station stop in Heathrow, I went ashore and made a phone call using my MasterCard. Later when I checked in at the hotel in Miami the card was declined. I could not understand that - it was fine just a few hours ago. Having previously learned the lesson to carry multiple cards, I used another card to check in then phoned MasterCard. They verified that it was me, that I still had the card with me and turned the card back on. It turns out that card thieves test the card by making a phone call to see if it is still valid. If it had been reported stolen and cancelled and they tried to use it in a store, the store would call the cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
