12B@C Posted June 2, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 2, 2009 If you are interested in finding an ATM machine, here is a website that might be of help if you use VISA. http://visa.via.infonow.net/locator/global/ Just enter the country and city and a map will show you the locations. You can go further by 'next page' to find more in a different part of the city. Does anyone know about similar sites for other cards or is this enough?

Rare cruisemom42 Posted June 2, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I strongly recommend NOT using your VISA or MasterCard to obtain cash, as the interest rates they charge are ridiculous. You should use a true debit card/ATM card -- even with a withdrawal charge, you will end up ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, don't confuse the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured there was another one. Until recently I was not aware of these sites. I know we hunted for one several times in Europe. Both of these are now in my 'favorites'.

I'm sorry; let me be clearer. I think it is confusing to others because you say in your post "if you use VISA". I assume you meant a VISA-associated debit card, but others may assume you meant a VISA credit card. Hence, my comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fblack Posted June 3, 2009 #8 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I recently got a Visa Debit card linked to my Fidelity Investments account. They will reimburse any bank charges to use an ATM as long as it is a Visa, or Star machine. And they only charge a 1% foreign transaction fee.

Lair Bear Posted June 3, 2009 #9 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thanks for those two web sites about where to find an ATM machine. I think most of us have had the experience about "where do I go for an ATM machine". Here is one for Citibank cards http://go.mappoint.net/citibankv2/Index.aspx I don't think anyone who travels gets confused about using ATM versus using a credit card. I agree that to use a credit card for getting cash is not very smart, but than again, as you said, that is not the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYI....Star network ATMs may not be as easy to locate as Plus and Cirrus. At least, that was my experience in Turkey (for a couple I was traveling with for several days) and in Germany (a colleague had a hard time finding a Star machine).

You'd be surprised; several folks have posted here on other threads within the last month who didn't really understand the difference -- I assume they don't regularly use a debit card. My parents don't, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people don't know the difference and the value of using a debit card instead of a credit card - my daughter for one unfortunately ! :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
