That is why you have several cards so you can get the daily limit out of each of them, and then do it again 24 hours later.
Typical shipping costs might be from $500 to $3000 depending on how big the vehicle is. Or you might have a major repair or new tyres to pay for and as happens in Bolivia, many businesses just won't take credit cards
And also the daily limit in many countries including some European countries let alone many in S America is VERY low eg $200 so it can take visiting several ATM's just to hit your banks daily limit. Then it is nice to have a wad of US paper money tucked away somewhere
