    Limo Mon,

    Please let me know where they have an exchange rate of 95 to 1 for us$ - I would love to go there and make a deal with them for all the us$ I can find! No problem!

    I do not know of any "street rate" being 80 to 1, the street rate I am familiar with is 85 to 1. For certain places, they do have their own exchange rates and they are often posted somewhere on the property. You pay whatever the establishment has as their exchange rate - you cannot assume any "street rate" applies to a given business.

    I am confused as to why you had what you described happen at more than 1 place. In all my years here - using up to 4 different currencies, I have never experienced this happening. And there are very few places in Negril that I have not been.

    So please, do not feel hesitant to let us all know where we can get 95 to 1 for the us$.

    You wont get that rate you have to pay that rate I think you miss my point. It's like im in the U.S. and buying something for 1 dollar and I want to pay in J's they want 95 J's I can see that but I'm not in the U.S. I'm in Jamaica . If you want to exchange U.S. you get 75 to 1 so Rob you cant make no dollars thats why its a beat up and when I say street rate of 80 last week most places be it jerk cart or beach resort it was 80 some 82 to 1 . Cambio was 84 to 1 last week. Maybe they seen me coming and gave special rates. but around town its was 80 to 1

    Rob so you understand If i buy something for 10 U.S. dollars in Jamaica and give them a U.S. 20 my change is 10 U.S. but they so no we give you change in J's and only give me 750J's. Then if I buy something for 10 U.S. dollars while in Jamaica and pay in J's they want 950 J's.
