I have been reading the discussions regarding cards and cash for traveling 21 days to Europe. We will have Capital One credit cards and I am investigating a "Visa Travel Money" debit card from my credit union. We thought we would place about $1500.00 on this card to cover expenses and possible emergencies. I never use an ATM card at home so is this a good solution for our trip?

Double posted question. The same question with a couple responses is running under the Transportation section.

It depends on if the card charges more than a debit card. It is probably much cheaper to get a debit card from your bank to use in ATM machines.
