I have a bank of america debit card, so is it better to just use that to get JA cash or go to the back and exchange US cash for JA cash? Seems like the debit card is the way to go, even if it does cost me a few bucks? now for probably a dumber question, when I use my debit card in the ATM in Jamaica, do i withdraw in JA amounts or US amounts? if JA amounts, and it give me JA cash, is the exchange rate the same as going to the back and exchange cash? sorry but never been to Jamaica, going next week. Whoo hoo!!!!
It depends on the ATM you go to as to which currency you get back. I use the Scotia Bank at the round about. It will ask if you want US or JA. Make sure you have the amount you want to take out in JA in your head already. It does feel somewhat nerve racking punching in $15,000 in an ATM machine...but you get used to it. As far as the exchange rate...I never bothered to figure out what the ATM gives you as opposed to the Cambio.
