What's this mythical European country where you cant get a credit card? There are places where most people don't have them, sure, but they tend to be very easy to get.
If you are self-employed sometimes it is difficult to obtain a credit card in some european countries.
Even if you obtain one, european credit limits are nothing like the american counterparts. They usually are much smaller.
I have the opposite problem though. I live in Austria and can't get a Visa/Mastercard debit card. The concept is totally foreign here. They use the stupid Maestro debit cards, which are useless online and in the United States.
If anyone can tell me how I can obtain a Visa/Mastercard debit card here, he will have my eternal gratitude.
For many people in Europe ( including myself ) the only other online option is a bank transfer, which also has the risk of loss of funds if you mistype the target account number[0]
The workaround for only having a debit card is to have it linked to a buffer account that only holds sufficient funds for the planned purchases.
[0] when submitting such a payment my bank kindly notes that they may not be able to reclaim my payment should I make a typo.
