It is true for ATM cardholders in the US or Canada that once you go
outside those countries, ATM transactions don't (or generally don't)
offer the *choice* of whether you want to access the checking or
savings.

International ATM transactions use one of two networks: Plus (owned
by the Visa card people) or Cirrus (owned by MasterCard). For Cirrus,
it says here:

[url]http://www.mastercard.com/asa/en/atmlocations/atm_safetytips.html[/url]

That:

* Most international ATMs do not permit transactions involving
multiple accounts. Most likely, your transaction will be routed
to your primary account.

So if the savings account is the only one on the card, it should work
"most likely" with Cirrus.

I believe the Plus system has a similar rule, but I could not find it
documented under visa.com. However, I *have used* Plus to withdraw
cash in the UK on a card that was linked only to a savings account,
and it worked. But that was quite a few years ago, so I don't say
that it still works, or always works.

Be sure to tell the issuing bank that the card holder
will be in the UK for that period. Sudden cutoffs for credit cards
and bank cards are very prevalant these days if the bank
suspects someone is trying to defraud them.

Also a back-up credit card is another reccommendation.
