I've spoken to some people who say they are approached almost daily by offers from banks from Turkey, Dominica, etc etc etc. You give them a large deposit and they give you a credit card with that set limit on it.
I think if you have money there's always a way. For the average joe that's a real concern though to get stuck out of country with no cards.
