Hello folks,
I will be in Buenos Aires for 2 weeks and Mendoza for 6 weeks starting in October. I have a Charles Schwab debit/ATM card for getting what cash the ATMs are allowed to give and will get the exorbitant fees reimbursed.
I generally use a Capital One Master Card with no foreign transaction fees for dining, lodging, transportation, and everyday shopping. But of late their AI (artificial intelligence) fraud program has been shutting the card down frequently for whatever reason. Since I cannot trust it to work every time, I need a backup card.
The Chase Sapphire is highly rated for travelers because of the rewards program, but VERY poorly rated for customer service. I am thinking I need a Visa Card rather than Amex or Discover, and was wondering if you had any recommendations of ones to get (or ones to avoid).
