Question by Joe: What is the best credit card for international travel?
I am looking for specific card if possible, not websites to find cards. I would like a second credit card that does not charge an extra percentage for international purchases. Also, if anyone knows of a card that is also 0% APR for the first 6 mos to a year, that would also be beneficial!

What do you think? Answer below!
Have a look at the credit card in my source. It has 0% intro APR on purchases for 12 months, up to 5% cashback, unlimited cash rewards and $0 fraud liability guarantee.
Whether you’ll have an extra percentage on the international purchases, depends on the currency (USD or not) and when you do it (no extra cost this month). From the site:
Foreign Currency Transaction Fee: None for billing periods ending on or before May 1, 2009; 2% of the U.S. dollar amount of each purchase made in a foreign currency for billing periods ending after May 1, 2009.
Anyways, it’s a good card, I have it myself.
Absolutely Capital One. They are the only company that don’t charge any extra money for using your credit card overseas. And by the way, i just came back from Brazil and used my credit card everywhere.
Good luck!!!i
