Which is the best Canadian credit card to take overseas?
I’m planning to take a trip to Australia in a few months and I have not yet applied for a credit card because I am not sure which one will make the most of my money. I know that with whatever bank I choose my money will be subject to the currency conversion of my Canadian dollars going to Australian dollars, however I am having a hard time finding what card is the best when it comes to the charges the actual bank will tack onto the money you spend.
I have no credit history, so I know that limits the options for cards that I’m eligible for, but overall which card will offer me the lowest extra charge for use overseas? If you’re a traveller, which card do you use and why?

You may want to see if your bank has a Debit card they can issue> That way you wont spend more than you should as it will come directly out of your checking or savings account. But if you do get a credit card just before you travel call the credit card company before you go. That way when they see the transactions from other places than your from there will not be any problems when you start using it.
