Randy, thanks for the reminder about getting a Master Card - I was almost stuck in Moldova because the only cash advance card they would accept was MC, and we only had our Visas.</font>
Kate - where in Moldova were you stuck?
When I had to buy my way out of Kishinev airport they were happy to let me advance $1000 worth of the local scrip on my UK Visa card.

That said, I too should get an AAdvantage MC, as the shortcomings of Citibank's UK offering are well documented.

Second - get an Aadvantage CC with a US billing address, to make paying for upgrades, change fees etc possible over the 'phone when I'm in the US.
