Any good deals on credit cards (cashback, low-cost currency exchange, etc...)?
My new wife and I plan to honeymoon in in Germany in November and will most likely just pay for everything with a credit card, which will then be paid, in full, upon our return. I honestly don't even HAVE a credit card at the moment -- I just a debit card. So, when shopping for a CC, what should I look for? Are there companies that offer better fees for international ATM withdrawls (in local currency, of course)? Or good cashback awards for spending? I haven't used a CC in years (ever since getting in debt during college, which I feverishly worked to get out of thereafter).
Any recommendations? We'll be flying into Munich and renting a car, driving to Garmisch for about a week, then just winging it. I requested a rate for a subcompact, manual-tranny diesel. We'll see if they oblige! Thanks! Chris

Exchange rates
Chris, I think the biggest difference would be in how they calculate exchange rates, since you are not going to carry a balance. I wish I had more experience in the finer points of international travel, but sadly, I do not. I mostly travel from home to my office and back again.
As you pointed out, though, paying your balance off every month is the best deal of all.
