<p class=MsoNormal>Yes, I know it's not a credit card, but you might want to
look into using a debit card overseas if that helps you reduce fees.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>My pet peeve is that all my credit cards (and debit cards)
have started charging me foreign transaction fees a 2% or 3% fee added every
time I use this card overseas. They never used to do this and it's really
just another way for the banks to make money with spurious fees. It
doesn't really cost them that much to do the transaction or exchange the money.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Social, <br>
<br>
I am looking to get a unsecured credit card now that I can. I am not a big fan
of credit cards but i need to have atleast one. I was thinking due to my ok
score i can get a good one. Have been going back and forth between rewards and
miles and cash back and this and that. I am feeling very small to venture out
in this world of credit cards all by myself so i am looking to get some advice
from you folks. I am very disciplined to paying back and stuff just dont know
which ones to get its a big cc world out there! <br>
<br>
Do you have credit cards that you recommend and more importantly do not recommend?
if you want to send me direct emails at <a href="mailto:palak.joshi@gmail.com">palak.joshi@gmail.com</a>
it would be fine or to the group, whatever you feel comfortable doing. <br>
<br>
thanks and have a good day. <br>
palak. <br>
