They offer no cashback, but savings in foreign exchange fees are often higher. I am considering getting one from our credit union before my planned trip in December. A friend of mine has Capital One; she says it also has no foreign exchange fees. Some article I read mentioned Wachovia. Needless to say this information may be outdated and needs to be verified.

Not to mention they give 5% on gasoline and 2% on supermarkets every day with no limits.

You load up your money in it & then use it like a credit card & you can get money out of ATM's with the Visa logo in most countries.
