I'd like to see this correlated to any changes in US international travel. Without reference it's hard to tell what would be driving this. I know personally, I used my debit card whenever overseas and I barely got charged. I know now I'm here in Canada that I can easily get an account that covers international debit transactions, but many also provide free travellers checks. I believe travellers checks are still used as frequently as they are because of the insurance they provide on the money. Much easier to replace than dealing with credit card fraud with some of the institutions.
