Currently vacationing in Japan and got majorly screwed. All guidance I received was to withdraw cash from the ATM for the best exchange rate.
Fast forward to today, I learn that my debit card (Discover) does not work in Japan despite the 7/11 website saying they accepted it…I called Discover at $2/minute to be told they do not transact in Japan.
Now I have been relegated to finding places that only accept Credit cards/IC cards.
How can I salvage this? I do not carry USD so cannot “exchange.” Thank you in advance.
