So I don’t really see the benefit in using cards like the Wise one?
Personally, I don't use a travel credit card, but I realized my card has the foreign transaction fees tied into the conversion which adds up a bit. I typically use Wise when its a sketchy place and I know they can't really cause any problems in the future. I also hate carrying cash so the peace of mind of just grabbing it whenever I need it is easier when moving around.
