I get travel rewards when I use that card and it has no international fees and it has a great exchange rate, so it's win-win-win. Also, I do NOT feel comfortable carrying lots of cash, or trying to keep it in my room safe or whatever.

I have had my card used fraudulently in the states...worst thing was not having the card for 5 days while they sent a replacement.

I never use my debit card for anything but ATM withdrawals.
It may seem win,win ,win I'll say as a retailer we appreciate your business but who do you think pays for all those miles?
