Seed the acct and use the card at bank ATMs in the ports. Zero fees and good exchange rates. Yes, that's the only reason why I opened a Schwab account. I withdraw $1000 Singapore for casino. I have$200 left. Now to see what my local bank fees are to covert that $200 to usd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 10, 2023 #27 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I'm on Edge currently - For the first Leg - Singapore - Indonesia - Australia, I brought none. In Singapore on the street got exchange very close to the spot market so piked up $60. Didn't spend any after 4 days in Singapore so when we arrived in Bali - in the terminal I converted it to IRp - on first day spent about $20 worth of IRp for entrance fees and tickets. Next day a crew member from Bali insisted on taking us around. We insisted on paying for everything still didn't spend any so I asked him to do us a favor and accept the remainder as a gift for taking the time to show us around. In Australia - everything was on Apple Pay - Now on the way to New Zealand and don't intend on buying any NZ $ --- All guides gladly accept USD as most Aussie and Kiwi's don't tip at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most amazing part of this post is the crew member volunteering his valuable off time to show you around. I've never heard of that. Cheers!
