Credit/Debit/ATM Cards and Foreign Exchange - FlyerGuide Wiki

I personally use the American Express Platinum as my primary. The membership rewards points are pretty robust, not to mention that it comes with a long list of complimentary memberships and perks that are listed on their website.

I use my PenFed Rewards Card as a backup in case I go somewhere that AmEx is not accepted.

I use my Capitol One card as the backup to the backup. AFAIK, Cap One is the only issuer of Visa/MC who does not charge FTF across the board. Many report issues with their card getting declined overseas due to their fraud software.

There are also various travel cards from Chase and Citi that have recently gotten rid of the FTF, you can read all about those on the wiki. Most of these cards charge an annual fee, so if you don't want that, make sure that you read the terms carefully before you apply.

Of course, there is Discover, but the card is not widely accepted outside of North America. They have reciprocity agreements in China and Japan with UnionPay and JCB, respectively, making it the most widely accepted card in those countries. Getting merchants at the store to take it is like asking for a first born child though. You need to print off directions from their website, as it is not just a simple swipe.
