I recently used the Wise card on a trip to Morocco.
It worked well, but the fees added up.
ATM fees were $3-4 per withdrawal, with a $200 limit per withdrawal, and Wise charges 1.75% in fees after a certain amount.
I also brought some dollars with me and found great exchange rates at currency exchange offices, which were much cheaper than Wise.
However, carrying a lot of cash isn’t always safe, so the Wise card was still useful!

When choosing my travel backpack, I first checked the measurements for personal item and carry-on sizes and then shopped accordingly to find a suitable bag.
I found my backpack at a surplus store, and it fits the personal item size perfectly.
Additionally, I use a crossbody bag to carry bulky items, and so far, it hasn’t been counted as a separate personal item.

This is Capital One, not Chase.
You must spend within their portal.
Any refunds will also be processed through the portal.

When I contacted them I was told it hadn’t been processed because the customer service rep did not mention to me that there would be a cancellation fee, even though they did and I even agreed to pay the cancellation fee.
I also agreed to pay the 25€ cancellation fee but that was 2 weeks ago.

MemberFebruary 9, 2024 at 9:36 am in reply to: Hyatt Regency Amsterdam Vs Andaz Prinsengracht?We were at the Andaz in November and thought the location was perfect.
They were getting ready for a big remodel.
Our room was huge (suite) and comfortable but kind of odd (had huge windows that opened to the atrium, kept curtains pulled).
Breakfast was good, and service was on the slow side.
The front desk staff was excellent.
I would stay there again.

Andaz Dubai is great.
It’s on the Palm Jumeirah right near the tramline, with beach access as well.
You won’t be disappointed.

MemberJanuary 2, 2024 at 3:00 pm in reply to: What Is The Best Airport Lounge At JFK Terminal 1?If you check the Priority Pass site, JFK Terminal 1 has 5 different lounges!
There is a Turkish Lounge, KAL Business Lounge, Primeclass Lounge, Lufthansa Business Lounge, and Air France Lounge.
Of the ones I have been to, I think Lufthansa Business Lounge is the best lounge in JFK Terminal 1.
If you have time, go check out multiple ones and report back which one you liked the most.

With several lounges at New York NY JFK International Priority Pass customers can refuel, refresh and reconnect before the flight.

MemberDecember 7, 2023 at 7:32 pm in reply to: Which Airlines Offer Free Ticket Cancelation Or Refunds?Southwest has free cancelations.
Even the cheapest fares on Southwest can be canceled 10 minutes before departure and still get trip credit.
If you buy the more expensive fares, then you can get full cash refund for your flight.
