I've done several of the above - Like the idea of a small welcome pack.

With a credit card you can set a limit so no difference to having cash or TC.
Re fees the Terms and conditions make it clear what the card company can and cant charge for.
Also the card issuer...
True - fortunately never happened to me (says whilst touching wood!)
They can also refuse your entry on a B2 - neither visa guarantees entry - Its all down to the IO's opinion of your intent on...
I'd also look at the annual pass (last time is was only $10 more than the normal day pass)
you had to pay an additional $10 parking with the normal pass (annual pass holders had free parking!)
Hmm I'm sure all the good folk on here have AAA+ credit ratings!
Not every bank does foreign FX and I guess small banks are worried that they wont know if a currency is fake etc .
I also dont like how banks will take your prints (for TC or check transactions)
...
I thought the US Embassy (in the UK) often challenge the need for a B2, if you only do 2 trips a year?
Also I don't think all B2's last ten years automatically these days - some are only 5 I'd...
You still get better rates on a fee free credit card than a travellers check - but YMMV!
I take your point - but a new passport = new ESTA so kind of annoys when its not technically necessary!
You can renew your passport 6 months ahead of time, without loosing anything
So no issue...
well the section 75 projects against stuff worth more than £100 even if you only partially pay on plastic!
The norm is most countries need 6 months (The UK has a special agreement)
This is just another classic example of the IO not knowing the rules!
I would take the US embassy print out next time!
...
I know some people don't like credit cards - but you get a much better rate than cash - especially if you get one that's fee free for foreign cash/transactions.
Of course the above is only cheaper...

I've not had too many bad TF experiences - but people can be a bit sensitive on there at times!
On a similar vain people think you need 6 months on your passport remaining when you enter the USA when in fact it only needs to be valid for your stay.
Thought Id try somewhere new!!
TF is fine but variety is the spice of life :)
I tried to do Arabian Nights last time I was in FL (Dec) but it was fully booked.
I guess we could start a things we never did in FL thread but im sure there's loads I haven't done Splendid China...
you may recognise me from TF ...anyway hello! :)
