re: Traveling to Europe

Just got back from two weeks in Europe. I used my Capital One cards to get cash out of the ATMS. They will charge you a $2 fee for using another ATM, but there is no fee for getting the cash. I bought a few Euros here before I left just to have some when I got there. A service fee of 6 cents per Euro was added when I purchased them. That was not done when I got them from the ATM.

I have a GM credit card and there were no fees for anything that I purchased with it. It's run by HSBC, which is really big over there.
