Special Finance Episode 2: Checking Accounts and Debit Cards Only A Bag - An Italian Travel Podcast

Checking accounts, debit cards, and how to access your money abroad without paying extraordinary fees.



We finally purchased a second microphone, so this special episode mini-series might sound a little uneven while we work ou the kinks. If it sounds especially atrocious on your headphones/phone/speakers, please let us know!

To support Only A Bag, you can sign up for one of the travel-oriented credit cards below. None of them have a yearly fee, which is one of the reasons we like them so much. (To learn more about the cards, you can either listen to the 3rd episode in this mini series, or search online for reviews about the card.) If you're not comfortable with opening a Credit Card, we encourage you not to. There is no pressure here, just some helpful tips.

Our favorite simple-to-use card: ⁠Capital One Quicksilver⁠

Our favorite for food and restaurants: ⁠Capital One Savor⁠

Our go-to for purchasing flights and lodging: ⁠Chase Freedom Unlimited⁠

All-around solid card with great cash back: ⁠Discover it⁠
