I think the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is meant to be the best to use worldwide. DON'T bother with the International Youth Identity Card (IYIC), I tried it everywhere in Europe and not a single discount was obtained from it...nobody recognises it. Reply to this

Also one of the only credit cards that dosen't add on the international fees, which most add 5%, is Capital one. They don't have any fees which could save you a lot of money. Reply to this

I have found that with the ISIC card it works great in South America but not so much in Europe. Reply to this

Okay, I've been travelling 3 months in europe and have only had my IYIC card accepted ONCE and that's because I told them it was a student card. Don't bother with youth cards. What a waste of money! On a nother note, France is great for getting into things free if you're under 25 and hold an EU passport. Reply to this
