Hi,
I stayed at Biyukukung Resort in Ubud for a week http://www.biyukukung.net/index.php - a small resort overlooking rice fields, very calm and quiet, but still close to the center of Ubud (walking distance). Good price (I think one of the cheapest ones in Ubud in this category), nice rooms, nice pool, good small spa.
I used my credit card several times for long-distance travel, never had a serious problem. One time I had a double booking from one resort in Malaysia but I protested against it and the CC company immediately canceled the second booking.

Rick,
Absolute Scuba in Bali can set you up with accomodations in Ubud and Sanur, and your diving in Tulamben if you want. It is owned/operated by Aussies and Americans, and you card is very safe with them. Bali Diving | PADI Internships Bali | PADI IDC Bali | Diving bali
Ask for Andy or Andrew

NO
as far as I know, the safest way. BUT....we were offred a discount to do a wire transfer due to the card vendor charges. (Tulamben, Scuba Seraya)
never a problem for me.....especially if you have a card with good conflict resolution (Am X, Citibank, USAA)
not Capital One, for me. They did have charges from a Mexican escort service and put me through the ringer clearing that up.

Interesting. I like Capital One because of the free currency conversion. Maybe I'll use my Amex card for dodgier transactions that are more likely to be disputed. You know, Mexican escort services and the like.
My last dive trip out of Bali (Kararu Safari) required a wire transfer; they would not accept a credit card.
