Have a great trip!

We always use ours, just be mindful of your max daily amount....

Our credit union told us when using our card and asked "Credit or Debit" to answer Credit. This bypasses your daily limits and fees. For example some places that you use your card as a Debit card you may incur fees for using it as an ATM. Right now I have a problem with a merchant that sent my card through for a purchase and it is now showing as an ATM transaction meaning I'll be charged a $3 fee for using a foreign ATM.

I always use my debit/credit card like it is a credit card. Mine is with a credit union from another state and I had trouble when I first got it with it being recognized as a debit card.

I too thought that as a credit card it did not have a limit, but mine did. Found this out when we went to "look" at new Infiniti G35 for DH and wound up buying one on the spot. We made a transfer for the deposit and I gave them my debit/credit card to use and it was declined for $4k. But finally after several attempt at lowering the amount it went thru for $1500. Found out we had a max daily at that point.

I guess in all my trips to Disney I never went over that amount for a one time charge because I did not know about there being a limit as to what you could use. Seems kinda odd because it's MY MONEY!!! But, I would call your bank and find out. You could always have a payment done halfway thru your trip if you think you will go over your max.
