I am going to acapulco, mexico..can I use credit cards and debit cards to pay down there? |
Travel Info What is the best strategy for money when going to mexico? should i just take a credit and debit card, and take money out of the atm in pesos when i need it? Do they take discover cards in mexico at most places? Travel Tips Yes. The receipts might looks different because they don;t always convert total to US dollars, but I've never had a problem with overcharging. Just look for the credit logos... And I've used them in major cities and in several small towns. If they cater to tourists they will most definitely accept cards. Others of course you can use them there. You can even use them in China I reckon. Mexico honey runs mainly on cash....Get your money converted before you go shopping.... However Acapolco may be an area with ATM's.... Good luck! you can but remember cash is king. Especially if you are paying in dollars not pesos. You dont have to necessarilly convert. They will love you for paying in dollars due to the rate exchange. i dont thinks so senorita... i think in some banks you can cash it for pesos.. or something like that .. i dont think they accept credit cards... i really cant recall if they had an atm next to the chicken pen... lol If you are staying at a big hotel,you probably could use your credit card there,I would keep most of your credit cards and money at the hotel safe in your room or behind the desk in the safe there. When going out on your daily jaunts ,I would not carry more money with you than what you can afford to lose ,if you get robbed. Carry just 1 credit card with you ,a master or visa,there are many small shops that might not take credit cards,cash only. If going out for a few hours for lunch and a little shopping,carry just what you need for the day ,and realize that you are in a foreign country,and in Mexico ,everyone there knows you are not a native as soon as you open your mouth and speak. Have fun and be safe ! Take travel checks with you and cash them at the hotel one at a time when you need them. That is your safest best. I've had no problems with Visa or Mastercard in most of the countries I've visited, I've never tried discover. My debit has the visa symbol, so it's also accepted. I've always exchanged my dollars for pesos at the airport, or nearby bank(if I'm familiar with the area) once I land at my destination to take care of any place that doesn't accept credit cards, as well as for tips when necessary. Otherwise I just use my cards. |
