ParticipantMost CC do a direct exchange at the close of business–use it for purchases. I found it to be the easiest and best way. I can do cash out of my Diner’s and get the same deal.

ParticipantCredit card and your ATM gives you the best exchange rates. However, beware that most credit cards charge you 1% to 3% fee per oversea transaction.
When we went to Europe fall of 2008. We got a credit card that does not impose extra fee for foreign use specifically for the trip. I think it was Capital One. After the trip we paid it off and canceled the card. Between that card and our ATM (I think our CU charge a few dollars per withdrawl so I made sure that withdrew close to equivilant of $300 USD every time)
Between the ATM and Capital One we had all of our needs covered.
