The best kind is a Visa debit card from your bank. When you swipe it for purchases, choose 'credit' instead of 'debit'. It also is better to use for online purchases as opposed to a standard bank debit card. A note about bank safety in bad economic times...choose a small community bank (preferably a credit union) that has been around for a long time as opposed to a national "chain" bank. Keep a week's worth of cash on hand. 4.

Credit cards are a good thing in the event of emergencies like car breaks down many hotels and car rental places will not offer you services without one.
