This is a very good thread. I came here while researching options for my upcoming Hong Kong/ Malaysia trip. Looks like using CIRRUS ATM with my Tangerine card seems to be the best choice for me. If I cant find CIRRUS, then I'll use Simplii card (dont know its fee though but guessing its $5).
I am there for a few days only and most of the things will be booked (hotels, activities). I am looking to withdraw $200-400 CAD in each country. I do have Home Trust, but their fee is 1.5% (min $5.50) plus there is that need to payback asap.
Is there any credit card where I can go into -ve balance before my trip and withdraw in the foreign country AND avoid their withdrawal fee. Based on @seriesofcontradictions post # 4 above, there arent. Also, since my withdrawals are not large, any more struggle may not be worth the time. Any other thoughts?
