A) Get a Schwab checking account, and be sure to call them and let them know you will be out of the country. Why? Schwab doesn't charge foreign transaction fees and will refund the ATM fees at the END of the billing cycle. They do need to hear from you if you are using your card abroad, unlike some banks.
Now that is the easy part.
B) Not every ATM in Brazil takes overseas debit cards. Which will is not always obvious as it not consistent. In my recent experience (this month) certain branches of Bradesco and Santander will take foreign debit cards and some will not. Here is the sign you should see outside of SOME Santander branches but not all (see photo). Imagine my sense of panic when the local Itau branch wouldn't take my Chase or Schwab debit cards. Fortunately, the Bradesco branch up the street did. I tried different places after that, just to see which ATMs would take my debit cards and had mixed results. I did not know that this would be a problem. I never encountered this in Europe or Asia (though I do recall an issue in Medellin a few years back). The Santander branch closest to my AirBnb rental did not, but around the corner on Av. Paulista, the closest branch did (which is where I took the photo.) Also, Rovnak showed me a sticker on certain ATMs that will take foreign debit cards at Santander branches, but I can't recall the verbiage on them (Rovnak if you are reading this, please scratch my memory).
Short story long, you won't be able to get money from the nearest ATM at every hour of the day. So, don't run short on cash to avoid cash problems at the wrong time. And no, currency exchanges are not that common in Brazil now.
The good news: debit and credit cards are taken just about everywhere. Some places scoff seem to have trouble making change and don't seem to have an issue with taking cards for small transactions. I tried to buy a bottle of water with a $R20 bill at a convenience store and the lady at the counter couldn't make change, but was happy to take payment with a credit card.
This is the opposite of Colombia, where card transactions are inconveniences imposed gringos, and the whole process of using a card is very slow. In Bogota last September, Colombians were paying cash everywhere for everything. Using a credit card at the places that took them sometimes got me odd looks.
Also note that many GPS now take credit cards, and prives do, as well. Just remember that a higher rate for using credit cards will apply. I paid are are $20 more at Enjoy for using my card (billed discretely to Car services Sao Paulo for $69.80 USD.
Also note that some girls do not take credit or debit cards. And they don't always have change (or they will claim they don't), so always have exact change for cash transactions with GPS. Actually, you should do that with all working girls anywhere, in the first place. I had two different GPS acquire a modest tip by claiming they didn't have change. Well, that is what they said.

Posts: 310Getting a clinica garota to rim you may require a bit more than standard GT and you may get a lot of refusals or upsells. Always best to get everything settled before hand. If it's a short trip, buying some of ABG 's time is a good investment.
I personally had problems with the ATMs in Brazil and ended up using the cash I brought instead. It was a new Chase account but it's epdefiantely harder to get large amounts of currency out of those ATMs. Have a backup.

Posts: 5Lineups and currency exchange
Very excited for my upcoming SP trip but I have a few more questions (thanks to all who responded to my previous post).
Clinica Line-ups. I understand there is a lineup presentation at the clinicas. At which point do we discuss which services are offered / not offered and who do I discuss it with (CIM, GFE, Rimjob or as I believe they call it black kiss, etc.). I assumed it's the girls themselves, and not receptionist. I will be using google translate for a lot of the interactions but I really have no choice at this point. And if anyone knows any rimjob / black kiss specialists in the area I'd love some recommendations. I'm staying in Moema.
Currency exchange. I'm debating whether to bring USD and exchange at an exchange place or just withdrawal from my ATM card. My bank charges $5 fee and 3%. Not sure what anyone else does that's not a local?
Thanks for any and all help.
Arkayel.

Right now I have the Pullman São Paulo Vila Olímpia Hotel booked since its midway between The Palms and Tangara. If someone has a better hotel location for other clinicas please let me know.
Thanks,
