The Best Payment Methods for Your International Trip

So, you’ve finally saved up enough money for that international trip that you’ve been dreaming of for quite some time. You’ve already booked your flights and hotel accommodations, but have you even thought about what payment methods that you’re going to use upon arrival?


Whenever you’re traveling internationally, it’s best to do some research on preferred payment methods for your destination ahead of time. The last thing you want is to arrive to your destination and learn that your trusty credit or debit card isn’t accepted.

Luckily, if your next travel destination is Australia, we’ve got you covered. Here are some things that you should keep in mind while preparing for your upcoming trip:

  • Some small businesses and restaurants in Australia don’t accept credit or debit cards.

  • Using cash for smaller purchases like taxis or meals will help you avoid excessive card fees.

  • American Express cards aren’t widely-accepted in Australia, so it’s best to carry a Visa or MasterCard instead.

  • Consider purchasing Why Leave Town Cards to help Australian communities prosper. For more information about this unique gift card program, click here or watch the informative video below.



No matter where you’re traveling to next, avoid having a large amount of cash on you and be sure to create a travel plan with your bank ahead of time.
