they are really handy! they do have a fee ($3.75 per transaction i think) i always withdraw the maximum and just put it in a safe at hotel to save paying the fee to often!
there is a fee to load the card too, I think it was 1% ish.
just be careful cos in Bali i recall that the Visa atms sometimes spat the money out first and then ask if i'd like another transaction, soooo if you walk away after taking the cash and forget the card, the next person can ask for another transaction and withdraw your money! (i was lucky cos one of my friends used the atm straight after me and saw that my card was still in there.)
