Thanks @musicamusica. That American Express card was just recommended to me for deals on purchasing 2 business class airline seats. I was going to check and see if the 2-for deal I was quoted was true. I have Global Entry/TSA precheck already, access to the airline lounges I use and hotel status, but I will look into all the benefits. If I can provide lounge access for another family member lacking the points, it might make a lot of sense.

I’m glad I learned my lesson fairly painlessly. One of my friends travels with $100 bills as a back-up. She can exchange these in an emergency or just re-deposit them to the bank on her return. I may go this route next trip in addition to the extra credit cards and foreign currency I carry.
