International travelers should keep an eye on fees

So now that credit card companies have to limit interest rates and overdraft fees, some industry analysts suggest that they will hike international transaction fees. And who will go to bat for us poor, widdle upper-income international travelers to get these fees regulated? Exactly. Which means your only one recourse is to use a card with low or no fees. For example:

When you travel outside the United States or make purchases that originate there, use a credit card from Capital One, which charges nothing for the privilege. Or try the Schwab Invest First Visa, which works the same way. Cards from smaller banks or credit unions may have similar policies.
