My credit card was cancelled after someone tried to buy something expensive. Try being overseas when that happens. Having electricity doesn’t help. No such things as travelers checks anymore. Might as well stand on the corner and sing.

I’ve traveled internationally a lot. Also, family and I were expats in Shanghai, PCR two years. You can purchase/charge up to whatever your credit limit is just about anywhere in the world. However, before you go overseas you must call your credit card customer service and inform them where you will be traveling to and approximate days you will be there. Even though you’ve done these things if an unusually large purchase is made or a purchase is made that doesn’t align with your buying history profile expect CC security to send you a text asking you to confirm or deny the purchase. A good practice as far as I’m concerned.
