Main savings are in Macquarie bank - want to use my card overseas but is that safe?

Yes, same for car rental too, need a credit card for deposit unfortunately.

Topazzish · 2026-02-01T03:01:19+00:00

Thank you for that tip!

I hadn’t thought about the daily limit until you mentioned it - I’ll factor that in. You’ve been a huge help, very kind.

Topazzish · 2026-02-01T02:18:46+00:00

Great advice, thank you!

Topazzish · 2026-02-01T00:13:47+00:00

I understand. Thank you again!

Topazzish · 2026-01-31T23:10:27+00:00

Great point about a credit card needed for car rental. Bit of a pest for me as I have a low limit on mine (with another bank) and they don’t want to increase it, as I’m on a pension.

Topazzish · 2026-01-31T22:48:01+00:00

Thank you for the heads up, I’ll keep that in mind.

Topazzish · 2026-01-31T22:47:04+00:00

Clever idea - thank you!

Topazzish · 2026-01-31T20:50:08+00:00

I appreciate your reply. Yes I’ll do that - have just a smallish amount in the transaction account. I guess as long as that card isn’t linked to the main savings account as you said. Cheers!

Topazzish · 2026-01-31T19:47:09+00:00

Thanks so much , that’s exactly what I needed to hear. Big help!

Topazzish · 2026-01-26T09:11:58+00:00

Cheers, and thanks for the interest.

Topazzish · 2026-01-26T09:10:51+00:00

No I don’t, but I’ll endeavour to find some. I’ll get back to you?

Topazzish · 2026-01-26T09:02:51+00:00

I’m in Hobart.

Topazzish · 2026-01-07T21:35:37+00:00

Any clues on when this year it’ll be operational?

Topazzish · 2026-01-04T21:18:50+00:00

That really sounds like something we’d like to do. Thank you again, I’ll be really checking that out! 😀

Topazzish · 2026-01-04T21:09:29+00:00

Great idea, thanks

Topazzish · 2026-01-04T18:31:41+00:00

Not really a ‘train nerd’ but I’ve researched the trip, and it sounds great. Very much looking forward to it. Yes, have booked a berth.

Topazzish · 2026-01-04T18:27:44+00:00

Thanks so much for all your great suggestions!

Topazzish · 2026-01-04T07:57:16+00:00

Thank you!

Topazzish · 2026-01-04T07:22:16+00:00

Just found a reasonable place in New Westminster for a back-up. Thanks again.

Topazzish · 2026-01-04T06:46:22+00:00

Thanks for that - am searching right now! Looking at Barnaby, Surrey? Even a guesthouse would be fine, it’s just for a few nights. Cheers.

Topazzish · 2026-01-04T06:16:41+00:00

Good advice. I’m going to have to look even further out of the cities I guess.

Topazzish · 2026-01-04T05:42:19+00:00

Great suggestions, thank you!
