I live near Stanford and got the Stanford FCU ATM card because of its low costs a few years ago. Then they sent a notice that to use the card on international trips, it would be necessary to call them before EACH trip and tell them about my intentions. I asked for blanket permission and they denied it, so I closed the account.
If this policy is still in effect, it's a major pain, enough for me to continue to avoid them. I don't know if this applies to credit or pure debit cards as well.
