    I don’t think you understood what my comment said. Fraud is prevented with credit cards, and that risk isn’t there. It’s smarter to use credit over debit, any bank will tell you that.

        Feel free to keep using a travel card

        Also like I said witt Debit, if there’s fraud then you’re out of that money until it’s returned. With credit, you will still be able to keep using it instead of potentially overdrafting/denied on a debit card. Or in the case of a prepaid travel card, you’d just run out, which would especially screw you over while traveling if that’s your only method of payment. On top of that, it’s easier to get scammed as a foreigner.

        If you’re still interested in learning, search engines are your friend. I am not a financial advisor.

          I’m trying to get you to validate your point.

          Risk 1: identity theft. Doesn’t apply, travel cards aren’t a form of identity. If stolen they can not be used as identity.

          Risk 2: money theft. Largely mitigated to minimal amounts trivial if not returned.

          I get it, you don’t like this conversation, you’d rather I do my own research than discuss alternatives any further. I won’t reply after this.
