A card with the lowest rate is not always the best one! Read the description for each card (Details).
- For a short term use the cards with the lowest rates are recommended (usually they have weekly maintenance fee). For a long term use we suggest the cards with NO or Low maintenance fee.

A card with the best rate to one country can still have low rates to other countries.
