Their
fee is offset by not having a late payment fee. How can I pay the damn bill

If you travel to Europe & Canada, you will also need a Visa card. <<

When I traveled 20,000 miles by car around the U.S. and Canada a few years
back, I had planned to use Amex (which I normally use as my business charge
card) to charge all of my expenses (the whole three months was a business
trip), but I found that while every motel we stayed at accepted Amex, about
40% of restaurants did not.  In addition, out west there were a number of
states where gas stations made a distinction between debit cards, which they
accepted, and credit cards, which they did not.  We spent almost as much
time in the Canada as in the U.S. and didn't notice there being a national
difference in credit card acceptance.

In any case, my plan of putting all expenses on one card didn't work.
