Can anyone suggest a good way to transfer $US to the daughter in Spain
(euros) without getting raped by exchange fees, wire transfer fees,
etc.? At the airport on Monday we bought this pre-paid debit card

Add her as an authorized user on a credit card you have and let her use that.
Or give her a debit card from your checking account.
I thought AAA did reduced cost money changing, but you would still have to ship
the stuff

What Rick said +
The only non-rapacious conversion rates are the CC companies (or
using a debit card) When #1 Daughter spent a year in the Fatherland,
we sent her equipped with a CC and a DC. There were no problems.
If your daughter is already there, and there is no time to send a
card
She has a debit card on an acct linked to ours, did not get her a CC,
should probably do that and send it along. The banks seem to charge
some sort of intl fees, and the local ATM some withdrawal fee, but the
exch rates seem pretty good. She was supposed to do all this, and got
frustrated
She can probably do just fine with the DC only, however the ATM fees
are always there. (fees amy be lower at wallyland. Again, if she is
in/near a big city and there is a wallyland, there are some options
there.
One thing I forgot to mention, is that we had the bank put
transaction limits

I'm not really sure why anybody uses the big banks, the rates aren't great,
fees are high and service is terrible...

Since you are retired military, you can (if you haven't already) become a member
of PenFed credit union. They are one of the best cu's out there.
