I had my woolies m/c cc skimmed on my last trip, probably in Spain, but possibly Dubai as well. What was interesting was that I only used it to cover incidentals at hotels as my accommodation in Spain and Dubai was paid up front when I booked, though the QANTAS site actually. I used cash or travel money cards for most expenses to try and avoid foreign exchange charges etc.
As I'm sure you all know, cancelling a credit card is a pain, so I'm thinking about getting a prepaid card as on display in woolies and using this when hotels want a credit card to cover themselves.
Has anyone done this? Can anyone recommend a card to get, any pitfalls to avoid?
Thanks in advance,
Mark.
P.S., if this is in the wrong place could a mod move it to the correct location, please?
