Re fees - shop around. Some charge some don't. Wamu didn't but in these Chase days it might be different.

Re: Using a UK debit card in America
The bank I work for has rules imposed on the use of cards in ATM's by Visa.
Generally for Point of sale there is no issue. The card will work in Bureau De change and well as a bank for getting cash out. ATM it will generally work once then stop. Unless you notify your bank.
Daily limits are the same as in the UK but you need to factor in the the charge and exchange rate when taking funds out. Generally if you let you bank know in advance they can make the Fraud systems aware you are going to be in a certain country and they will lift the restrictions on the card for the time you are there but always check the Fee's first before using.
