Like never, ever. Weird. But, hey, it's a revolving one 🙂 I didn't have a international credit card back then so we were paying by cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 9, 2019 #253 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The restaurant was run by Wolfgang Puk and was on top of the Reunion tower (actually attached to the Hyatt hotel and not the Hilton) and we did the degustation menu which was around $120pp with wine pairings. https://wolfgangpuck.com/dining/five-sixty-by-wolfgang-puck-dallas/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of an "international credit card." Even 30 years ago when my husband was traveling internationally regularly on business he just had his regular card. Would that have been different in Australia back then? Asking sincerely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is what Mic was referring to but for me an international credit card is one that has no fees for foreign purchases and the exchange rate is nearly equal to market.

Credit cards were around in Australia back then as well but I would never have used mine back then. By international card, I mean one that doesn't attract the international transaction fees and has a reasonably good currency exchange rate.

You'll notice that they say that if service is included it will be stated.
