We took travel cards to the UK and France. OK to use in ATM, but has a fee. However, not everywhere accepted the cards for payment for goods. Didnt recognise it as a usable card.......no raised numbers was one reason given. Also, we found we were never asked for the pin number- we had to sign. In fact at one time in Paris we were charged 3 times for the same 2 beers as the barman kept on sliding the card through and saying it wasnt working. At 4.5 euros a beer, it was an expensive drink.
FOr Bali we have always taken cash and a credit card as back up, but friends take cash and debit card.
