I don't think the Cambios are open on Sunday. Not sure about getting cash at the stores. You can use an ATM or just pay in US, the rate may not be great but it is only for one day. Next time take some Jamaican dollars home with you so that you will be prepared for your next trip.
Has anyone ever gone to there local bank at home a exchange cash? Our bank offers this option but not sure on the rates.
I did this recently with pesos, for a trip to Mexico. The exchange rate and the fees weren't the best, and it took 2 days to get the money. However the USD to peso conversation was so favorable, that I still came out ahead over using US dollars on my trip. I would consider doing it again, just to get enough currency to start my trip. In Mexico, many cambios were shut down due to money laundering concerns. They are much easier to find in Jamaica.Quote:
