Credit Cards with no Foreign Transaction Fee for those who Travel

In short, all Capital One credit cards do not charge any international transaction fee, along with some travel credit cards from Bank of America, Chase, Barclay’s, and Citi. You cannot go wrong with any of these offers. Just pick the one that caters better your needs.

Consider cards’ sign-up bonuses, regular rewards rate, annual fee, and credit level needed to apply.

It is advised that you do not use AmEx or Discover cards, despite that some of the AmEx cards don’t charge you an FX fee. These cards are not as widely accepted abroad as VISA or MasterCard and chances are you can stack somewhere without the ability to pay with your plastic.

It is also good to know that many VISA and Master Card credit cards offer you these essential travel benefits:

• Cover rental cars collision damage
• Medical evacuation expenses
• And other useful travel perks (call the bank or read your card terms and conditions – usually it depends on your card status level)

Yet another good piece of advice is to call a bank in advance to inform them what locations are you travelling – it can prevent triggering an unusual transaction flag and the blocking of your card when you need it most.
