You don't say where you're headed. We've been all over the place, from China to Romania, and we never had a problem with US credit cards until we got to Scandinavia where in several countries we ran into situations where they would not accept magnetic strip credit cards. We ended up relying on our debit card in those places, because for some reason it was acceptable.
And I agree with what others have said:
Capital One is the way to go for international travel saving 3%;
have a PIN;
carry at least two cards of different types (we usually split these, my wife with a VISA and me with a MasterCard, just in case one of our wallets goes walk about we aren't left cardless);
use ATMs to get cash in the local currency, avoiding exchange places.
