You spend $100 and have to pay $103. Not the end of the world.

At least, that’s what my credit card charges. One of my cards (I think my Costco Visa) doesn’t charge a fee for international use.

yeah, no kidding. But, that has transaction fees. Somebody else from her group is flying out tomorrow night.

That would be really fast. My bank takes about a week to replace mine.

None of the good credit cards, like chase sapphire, capital one, and most airline credit cards

I wonder if she could get a Visa gift card and load it up

What’s the layover like at JFK? Is it a national bank, that she could stop by a branch in NY?

Is there a leader you could transfer money to, until you can get a card to her?

So, we should be ok. Found a person who is leaving tomorrow night, and should be able to print new card tomorrow.

Will the bank issue the card without her actually there?

My wife is on the account as well. So, yes. We at least had enough foresight for that.

If only she'd bought Bitcoin in 2009.

Our bank can issue a debit card same day. May be an option to send with her
