Benefits of a debit card:
Apply for a Connect card and pay for things wherever you see the VISA sign.
Get up to £50 cashback at certain shops when making a purchase.
Withdraw up to £300 per day at Barclays cash machines, provided you have sufficient funds.
No transaction charges* when using your card in machines abroad belonging to our Global Alliance.
this should help.0 -
The member of the Global Alliance you're most likely to find in Italy is Deutsche Bank. There's a list of branches in Italy here: http://deutsche-bank.map24.com/cc/search.php?lang=en&debug=&country0=itLet's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks

And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning0 -
so whats the other benefits of using a barclays debit card abroad then0

You get charged hidden charges & some not hidden charges. Not really a benefit - except to Barclays!
Better by far - as you have the time to do this - apply for a Nationwide Flex account with debit & credit card. No charges to withdraw money on debit card, buy items on credit card with no charges & the best exchange rate you'll find in resort/bank/exchange companies.
Never worry about exchange rates again OR buying currency unless you go somewhere totally off the beaten track where there are no ATM's.0
