Visiting Portugal

This is a money question about Portugal. I keep hearing stories about people not being able to get money from ATMS or use their Mastercards. Does my Mastercard card just have to have Cirrus or Plus or something on the back to work? What about Visa?

You shouldn't have any problems. Once in a while you may encounter a machine that is only affiliated with the Visa networks (or vice versa). If that happens just use the another bank across the street and you will be back in business. Be sure to call your bank before you depart and tell them about your travel plans.
