Hello!! Not sure if they work or not but check out the charges because I checked with Commonwealth before I went home the last time and they charge through the nose to you use your atm card overseas.. serious rip off..

We did this instead as it was much cheaper - http://www.commbank.com.au/personal/...el-money-card/

On a similar note, I have a Wizard Clear Advantage Mastercard (no annual fee, no overseas charges, exchange rate similar to XE.com). It is the older type of card without a chip and I do not have a PIN. What's the deal with using this card in Europe and the UK as they are all chip and pin over there? Can I still sign?

Yep, mine did. Just check your card has one of the following logos on the front or back (every card should) it should have one of these: Plus, Cirus, Mastro, Visa or Mastercard.

If there is no chip in the card then it's still swipe and sign. Remember loads of countries don't have chips and still use their Visa, Mastercard and Amex overseas with swipe and sign... Otherwise there would be no point.
