Hello so despite all my planning and being ready for my Japan Trip there is one major thing I forgot: checking if my credit card/debit card has a foreign transaction fee (they do). I learned about the Charles Schwab card but there is no way I'm getting that in time I leave this Friday after midnight.
I can't do anything about the CC but for the debit card should I take out around 500 to 1K in cash here and convert it when I get to Japan? I heard doing this is not as good because you get less as opposed to taking it out from ATMs but I will get charged 5 bucks, plus my bank's foreign 4% fee and the atm % fee doing that. What should I do?
