Advantages: Good rates, take it abroad Disadvantages: Not that good in out of the way places
...travellers cheques or cash, just VISA - and it was fine. I used ATMs when they were available and paid for all my meals with the card and although I didn't use my card there, there were plenty of Beuareau de Change's which would give out money on VISA credit. VISA have better rates than travellers cheques and you don't get charges commission at both ends. On top of this you only have to carry an easily concealable little card and if its stolen most ...

Advantages: none Disadvantages: You cant use the damn thing
I was recently issued a visa Electron debit card by LlotdsTSB, great I thought at last I can use a card and not worry about carrying cash around with me and as it is a debit card and as the info that came with the card says your account balance is checked everytime you use it then there is no chance to over spend ...even better. I was wrong I've had the damn card a few weeks now and ive yet to find a retailer that actually taked the thing ,oh everyone ... ...I'll be dammned if I can find anyone that will accet this, its so inconvenient ,what do the retailers have against it. You really would have thought that a big name like'visa' would be more recognisable wouldn't you . Its just a waste of plastic and paper. If your bank offers you one then forget it ,its not worth it hold out for a switch card. ...

Advantages: Convenience Use for On Line Transactions Disadvantages: Rewards are Not Very Generous
My very first Visa Card was issued by Barclays many moons ago when I was a student at University. With a student grant as my main source of income I did not use the card very often or for transactions involving sizeable sums. Later on when I was lecturing I got a Visa Card from the old TSB Bank and used the card much more extensively and was very pleased with the service I received. For the last 15 years I have had a Visa Classic Card from HSBC and ... ...Visa to be one of the very best credit cards.What you might ask are my criteria for saying so ? Well I fins this card enjoys a very high level of acceptability both in the UK and the wider world beyond. Most good class stores,supermarkets,petrol chains, restaurants,hotels, resort operators, airlines and other commercial establishments accept it. Then I enjoy the rewards that I get from using Visa. OK to be fair you have to spend a good deal before ...

Advantages: You can use it at Asda Disadvantages: You can't use it anywhere else
...it anywhere because it says Visa on it, how wrong can you be?
The only place I've used it so far, successfully, is Asda.I did use it once in Smiths, with no prolems, but the next time I went in there the assistant said they didn't take them, Oh yes you do, I said I brought a cuddly Tigger with it last week.Well apparently I must have imagined the whole episode because they can't take them, she said.
I believe that if the shop takes Visa, it is ...

...the account) and the FREE VISA card. Real VISA - not the Electron one with the credit limit of your deposit x 3. So I gave the 75 GBP initial deposit and get the real off-shore checking account with real Off-shore VISA.
Great and quick... Even better then you could imagine...

Advantages: Recognition Disadvantages: no cash back
Visa is recognised everywhere - as long as it is Visa and not Electron, but that's another story.
When I went to Crete and ran out of money, I got money out on my Visa card, with only a minimal charge. This might seem obvious, but I think it is one of the card's great advantages. How many times has it got me out of a scrape? Not just getting money out but paying for things by card. I only wish the limit was lower!
When buying stuff over the phone ...
