If anyone can think of any others...please add.

Tabs usually work too...bnewb......

Also a good thing to remember...if you pick local currency...and type in can/ us money...eg. 300...it will spit out 300 j...and if you don't have Scotia....it will charge you 575 j!..so take your time....

dirty..................how you doing...>>come on..,,,man......
remember?

dont be shy'''''''''''''''''''''

If it all does not work for me … I'll be busking and would love the support of fellow north americans. Such great share of information. Truly heartfelt. Best of the holidays and safety and friendship.

I know it's not in Negril, but I always make my first ATM withdrawal at the Airport upon arrival. It's to the left near the sidewalk as you exit the arrivals hall.

It's been very reliable in the past. My Credit Union card does not charge a fee, so I get bank rate and no ATM fee.

In 2008, my son was wanting to take out US currency but I told him to use JA instead. After a little back and forth he reluctantly took JA. One problem....he only asked for $1,500 JA (NOT $15,000). Of course it was my fault for telling him to take JA. :)

ATMS and exchange rates can be fun! Decades ago I showed some college students (when Spring Break existed) where the ATM was and they wanted to take out money. The first one took out JA$100. It took a while to explain to him (and the rest) that he just spent about the same amount on the transaction than what he withdrew. (it was about J$25/$30 to US$1 at the time if I remember correctly.)

The J$1 bill still existed at that time and the Bank of Jamaica hadn't even thought of the J$500 note yet... Now we have the J$5000 note...

Craig - it wasn't your fault - I would blame the educational systems.... (grin)
