THAT is why I use a credit card, not a debit card. In both cases charges will be completely refunded in the event of fraud (perhaps less a $50 fee, depending on the fraud type) but in one case you simply don't pay the bill until it's resolved, in the other you lose all your money until it's resolved. I'll take the former any day.Originally Posted by Clarity
The only place I ever use a CC in JA is when the hotel wants an imprint for charges to the room. Knock wood, never an issue. Its all cash on the barrel for everything else....

Same here Rock Robster! We use cash for everything except our deposits when we book our room ahead of time.
We had our card info stolen in Chicago while staying a single night at one of "stay, park and fly" hotels near O'Hare ................. charges were already building before we got on our plane to Jamaica ................... we had notified the credit card company ahead of time of our trip so we had no issues while in Jamaica but the card was turned off in the States ............. upon our return we learned the entire story from the credit card company ............... the front desk people started charging up things within minutes of us getting on the shuttle to the airport ................ police and hotel corporate office notified but we never heard anything back from either one ............... on top of all that, someone stole the license plates off our car while parked in their "secure parking lot" ! ! ! !
