i had trouble in Europe when I lost my credit card. having a back up card would have helped. some cards now come with both an Amex and a Visa, like the new westpac singapore airlines cards. there are some good articles on credit cards and travel here: http://www.iwantacreditcard.com.au/search/?tag=travel

travel with an Amex as they main can preferred card – their currency conversion tends to be better + they dont charge a currency conversion fee on each transaction

visa and mastercard as backups – some places in europe look at you like a martian if you try handing over your platinum amex wondering what it is
