Wal-Mart debit cards
Posted in General Travel Tips, Kewl Stuff, Travel Technology on Nov 5th, 2008
I’ve recommended opening a checking account specifically for your travels. This way you can leave the debit card for your primary account at home. I found another easy way to get a Visa debit card. I was at Wal-Mart buying a cable when I saw that they were selling Wal-Mart brand Visa debit cards. You buy the card there and then put whatever amount of money you want on it.
The Wal-Mart card is less hassle than opening a checking account. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work in Costa Rica seeing as it is a Visa card. I’m going to get one with a couple hundred bucks on it before I leave. I’ll see if I have any problems. You’ll get a full report when I get back.
