What are the best credit cards for travelers?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Tell your cousin that it would also be a good idea to also notify her credit card company when she travels. The reason for this is that many credit card companies use a type of computerized watchdogs that scrutinizes a person’s credit card use and if it sees drastic changes in the way the card is used or where it is used at (such as Europe) the company may put a stop on the credit card.
So the bottom line is to tell your cousin to stick with Visa or MasterCard-preferably Visa and let her credit card company know she is traveling. :-)

1. Exchange rates – different credit cards charge different exchange rate fees, so try to find a card that has a low fee for exchange rates. American Express actually does well in this department, but the best is Capital One. Capital One charges no exchange rate fees. For someone doing a lot of international travel, this is a huge savings.
2. Widely Accepted – as others have stated, Visa and MasterCard are the most widely accepted credit cards worldwide.
3. Travel Features – Look for cards with some other key features as well. Some cards provide levels of insurance protection that can be helpful when you do something like rent a car. For travelers, this can be very important.
