Credit card: Barclaycard Arrival Plus MasterCard. $89 annual fee, yes. But for 2 miles/$1 spent, it's worth it. No limit on how many miles you can earn. No rotating categories or any stuff like that. No foreign transaction/exchange fees either. And their customer service is really good.
They also have a non-annual fee, 1 mile/$1 spent card. For me and the amount of traveling I do, it's worth the $89 for the double miles.
Debit card: My local bank ATM card. There's a 3% fee, but I usually just take out enough "pocket money" once and am done with it. Pretty much everyone takes credit cards where I travel to (Europe); carrying cash has become a low priority for me, anyway.
