    Best value card around

    Reviewed by Gerard

    With around a 10% interest rate and a $39 annual fee, it was the cheapest and best value card I could find. As an added bonus you get the small Credit Union type of personal service.

    I’ve never had an issue when traveling overseas in South America, Europe and the Middle East, when withdrawing or purchasing.
