Let me know which travel debit card you're using? I feel like we definitely missed some so maybe I'll do a follow up video to test even more cards! Some key travel cards I though of after making the video are HSBC Global Wallet and the Suncorp debit card Comment from : Flight Hacks - Immanuel Debeer

use HSBC everyday card to withdraw at AEON ATM, no ATM fee at all Comment from : Ryan

So I’m going to Thailand in December I have the up card but I don’t see any conversion option on the app? Or does it do it automatically when I withdraw from an atm or use it in a store to pay in Thailand? Comment from : HeinrichDulay

Thanks so much just the info I was looking for I have signed up for UBank Only away for 4 days so I don't wants lots of fees Comment from : anna lee

super helpful, very cool Comment from : Grizzles

Thank you from the bottom of my heart My wife and I are Up-siders We knew Up is a great bank but didn't realise how good the account is for travel to Japan That is what we'll use, and the icing on the cake in our case is that there's nothing to do Comment from : andrewdegozaru74

I've moved from ING to Ubank Comment from : Sally Graham

Great video super informative Comment from : Shelley Winkel

I don't understand the transaction fee on the kit kat purchase for UBank - on their website it says no international transaction fees? Fantastic research - thank you Comment from : Anita Muecke

nice I just ordered the up bank card, thanks bro Comment from : Jay E

Great video I'm heading to Japan In October and do all my banking with ubank and up so this really put my mind at ease Thanks Comment from : Brendan Vagg

Great video mate 🍻 Comment from : Aussie Alts

Thank you for the video I want to know is that do I need to notify to Up bank before travelling Thanks Comment from : Khai Oo

With the ING ATM fee rebate now ending but they still do $0 international transaction costs if you meet the criteria Which cost is rebated the $5 fee or the $125 fee? Or is it none at all! Thank you for the video too! Comment from : M T

Thank you so much! Just the kind of video I was looking for I have only just figured out that the exchange rate varies depending on the card I have the SpendMe card from MeBank which seems to have no fees added on anything international so this makes me suspicious the exchange rate is bad though I can't find the rates anywhere Do you know where to find the exchange rates for individual banks currency conversions? Comment from : Paul Ciaro

Great video and also looking at your article one question… which is of the best cards in terms of safety if you have to contact them and your card has been lost or stolen and you need to put a hold on it etc also which is easier to move money from one account at home in Australia to your card? Thank you in advance🙏 Comment from : Towards the Light

Excellent video, well done! Comment from : n grand

Macquarie throughout Europe Citibank in Japan ING in South America Comment from : Cee Jae

Great video, what do you think of the Charles Schwab debit card for use in South East Asia? Comment from : Colin Prevett

8:20 - No wonder How do you expect CBA to make $5 billion half yearly profit without screwing over struggling customers As long as the CEOs are getting multi-million dollar bonuses, she's all good Comment from : Jimbo Jones

Great video! I found your review of the best travel debit cards in Australia extremely helpful It's refreshing to see an honest assessment of the hidden charges and poor exchange rates that some cards come with Your expert guide is a must-read for anyone planning their next adventure I especially appreciated the real-world ATM test and the updated results for the best travel card Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more informative content from your channel Comment from : Essential Travel Items

I have Macqurie Debit Card I love it Comment from : Pum Khai Oo

Are you going fishing mate😉 Comment from : Chippa B

Amazing information and super clear thank you I'm off to Japan in 13 days and this has made everything so easy I already have up and ing so I'm all set Comment from : Rachael B

What happened with the atm part It's like something is missing Did you include overseas ATM fees Not the Australian ATM fees, the overseas ATM fees This can be by far the largest expense $30 per transactions in some countries ING refunds ALL fees with a couple of simple conditions Just set up an auto deposit You missed the boat with this one I have had refunds of over $150 per month on ATM fees with ING on some trips It's far and away the best Comment from : Bikepacker

as of now in my Westpac worldwide wallet i am getting 10000 yen at 11217aud Comment from : Sam

I am trying to get a Ubank debit card - it says on line that you can't get them anymore? new customers that is Comment from : Julia Ott

Not sure where my comment went as i cant find it anymore? Comment from : Wowow31

When I’m travelling I usually have the CBA Travel Money Card and my American Express Business Platinum Card Depending on where I am and what I’m buying I switch between the two The travel money card has low fees for money withdrawal and no fees for transactions when you load local currencies or even when you have AUD loaded Business card is useful as the fees are actually quite reasonable at 3 and I’ve found the reference exchange rate used on the platinum Amex to be very competitive Just depends whether earning points is important for you or keeping overall costs down The Virgin Velocity American Express Platinum card is also great for points earn with similar fee structure I recommend having a credit card for points earning and insurances when spending on bigger ticket items such as accomodation, luxury items etc but using the travel money card for day-to-day expenses Last few trips I have kept very minimal cash on hand which has been great and very convenient Comment from : Kush Sami

Loved collecting debit cards from Aussie banks Got UP , Wise, revolut, Ubank in hands Didn't know it would come in handy when travelling to overseas Ditch my conventional debit card which charged a fees to access my own money Loving it❤❤🎉🎉 Comment from : Ongky darmawan

Favourite card to use is revolut, pretty easy to use and transfer money Best part of the card is the referral bonusbrbrPs, wouldnt mind the suitcase:) Comment from : mmfox770

Great video! Can't believe there was a 7 difference between the cards! I'd recommend ANZ travel rewards card, has no currency exchange fees & the emergency helpline team answer the phone quickly & the very best part, you speak to a person, who knows the policy & can provide guidance Lifesaver when you have 9 phone battery & are somewhere remote Comment from : Michelle T

Great tips! I found out the hard way that the Travelex card is not the way to go Earlier in the year I used it for our family trip to NZ The app was a disgrace to be honest with a 48-72 hour delay in displaying the accurate account balance Looking forward to trying some of these in the future! Comment from : Erica Dolman

I try using a credit card while travelling The last time I used my ING debit card, ended up paying about 3 in international transaction fee Will apply for a UP card soon, thanks for the detailed video! Comment from : AMAN KULSHRESTHA

Best tip I can think of as a broke student who blows all his money on a yearly Europe trip: make enough money to even be eligible for these cards first (still a work in progress) Comment from : Jack Lucas

1 Cut the middle man and ask people in your network if they have any leftover currency and buy/sell at market ratebr2 Load your cards onto apple pay in the event a physical card is misplaced br3 Make sure your card does not require a OTP (on your Australian mobile) when making online purchases (booking train tickets etc) while overseas Comment from : Jourdan Lofthouse

Just got back from month in Europe, my hot tips from pre holiday research and lesson: 1 Commbank Ultimate card, no intl transaction fee + 1 qff per $ spent + free travel insurance + more 2 GE 28 degrees platinum card as back up, no international transaction + no annual fee + excellent ex rate 3 Citibank debit card for atm withdrawals, no atm fee + great ex rate 4 If you need a sim card I got Vodafone prepaid when I landed, it's 20€ last 28 days + 150gb data + free roaming around most of EU 5 enjoy everyday! Comment from : Jesse Kwong

Up for the Win at home and overseas! With the occasional free coffee and low fees as well as spend tracking you can’t go wrong 👏🏼 Comment from : Sarah Hayes

I have always used Citi debit card while travelling as they don’t have any charges for ATM withdrawals across the world The conversion rates might not be the best but saves you the worry of exchanging and returning currency while travelling a new country!!brbrWould love to see more content from Immanuel on best cards for UAE :) Comment from : Anirudh Hingle

Thank you for doing a real world test with a wide range of cards available 👏 didn’t realise I already have one of the best travel cards with my UP one, will definitely be using this for my Euro travels! My biggest tip is the currency conversion when buying in store DO NOT do what I did and convert it back to AUD to pay I lost so much money! And in this economy a little goes a long way Comment from : Lele

Why does every avid traveler need reliable international debit/credit options? Because having those tools protect you from being taken advantage of The fees layered onto cash withdrawals and forgiven exchange are crushing Save yourself the future hassle and find a card that works within your budget and with your comfortability level Comment from : The Working Man Fitness

Best tip (learnt the hard way) when using your card via ATM or at a store overseas is to convert to local currency rather than pay using home currency But make sure your card has no currency conversion fees or foreign transaction fees I used the Up card on my most recent trip and got pretty decent conversion rates with no additional fees! Comment from : Beth

Traveled South Korea , Singapore, Philippines last 5 weeks and been using Latitudes 28 Global No problems and best exchange rates with purchases Can also save with local delivery to Perth 😂🙃 Comment from : Nickel King

With Qantas Travel Card - make sure you order it weeks in advance Everyone in my travel group ordered one and had to wait a month for it to arrive We ended up ordering Wise as a back up and that arrive in a few business days Just something to consider when applying for a travel card! Comment from : Bryan S

Best card travel hack is the - Qantas American Express ultimate card! 70000 point sign up and 450$ per year travel budget Comment from : Lara Nieuweboer

My most useful travel hack after traveling this summer is putting an Apple AirTag in your suitcases! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Comment from : Lara Nieuweboer

I have used the Qantas Card, Commbank Card and Wise Card - I found wise the easiest app to us and they offered good exchange rates for AUD Thanks for this video, I’ll be considering Macquarie Platinum 🙌 Comment from : Bryan S

If using a travel credit card with a small limit you probably might not be wanting or able to monitor and top it up as you normally would back home Prior to going Transfer and overload it with enough money to cover your holiday expenses to save needing to top it up And don’t forget, always choose to pay in local currency Comment from : Brad Smithers

Travel cheques are my secret hack Comment from : munir chahin

My wife and I just spent 8 weeks overseas in multiple countries and used Ubank for all our spending I couldn’t fault Ubank, so simple and easy to use, great app and instant transfers I found I was getting better rates with this card than my currency converter app! Comment from : Isaac Ford

Speaking of travel hacks, here's a lesser-known one that can save you big bucks on flights: consider booking multi-city flights instead of round-trip tickets Often, it can be cheaper to book a flight that stops in multiple cities along the way to your final destination, rather than flying directly there and back Not only can this save you money, but it also gives you the opportunity to explore multiple destinations on the same trip! It's a win-win situation So, don't forget to add this nifty trick to your travel hacking arsenal Happy travels, everyone! Comment from : Nissan Silvia

Can’t believe you went all the way to Japan and didn’t get a matcha kitkat Comment from : flylikelinz

I have up, wise and ubank Wise is my favourite I really dislike the up app but I love the branding Comment from : Michael W

Bankwest Platinum Debit MasterCard I use and no issues thus far, hopefully lines up well Thank you for doing this video very useful! 😅 Comment from : Hughesy and Annalise

Westpac Lite Mastercard and 28 degree credit cards brBest travel hack: Follow Immanuel for all tips so that you don’t pay $$$ to fly business/first class👍🏻 Managed to secured the Platinum IHG status by just following Flight Hacks! Comment from : jessica081142

ING is my go to 👏🏼 Comment from : Alex

If you use your own debit or credit card, always choose to pay in local currency (country you are in) as you save money on not being charged an bad exchange rate if you were to pay in AUD Comment from : James Tan

I’m in Europe now and using 2 debit cards that both have no fees attached They are Wise which has a fairly good exchange rate and HSBC global with a slightly lower rate They are both very easy to use by moving money and checking exchange rates My preference is Wise however there has been the occasional time where my wise card wasn’t accepted Therefore my tip would be to have at least 2 cards just in case there is an issue with one & to compare exchange rates Comment from : Fiona OBrien

So much microdetail and micromanaging for such a minuscule difference My tip would be to have someone like you organise the trip and finances so that the other party could relax and enjoy the break I would love to win the suitcase Comment from : Denise McEnearney

I use DM Charge card whenever I travel Daddy’s Money So what! Your daddy has the same 24hrs as mine Tell that MF to work harder! Travel smart #daddysmoney Comment from : flylikelinz

I have always used the up card - never had any issues and the app is user friendly! The chat function is helpful overseas so no need to sit on the phone 👍🏼 Comment from : Sam Cooper
