sheshe01 Posted June 14 #1 Share Posted June 14 We are on an upcoming cruise to Greece/Turkey with 4 day extension in Athens. My friend wants to bring her Discovery card but I am unsure if it is widely accepted. Anyone have experience (good or bad) with using this card in these locations?

CruiserBruce Posted June 14 #2 Share Posted June 14 Discovery cards are definitely not well accepted in Europe. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell your friend to bring a Visa or Mastercard which are accepted everywhere. Discovery will be practically useless. AMEX will be accepted by many, but a large number of merchants will refuse them because they charge a higher commission to the merchants than either Visa or Mastercard. And whatever you bring, always ask to be charged in the local currency, not in US$. You will get a much worse rate of exchange if you charge in US$.

Langoustine Posted June 14 #4 Share Posted June 14 (edited) I have found DISCOVER cards to be totally useless in Europe and lately, pretty useless in large parts of the northeastern U.S. Edited June 14 by Langoustine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
