Cash, Traveler's checks, debit card?

I had one night where every single ATM was down. Scotia, NCB, Scotia at Times Square, ATM at the airport. So glad I had some backup stash.

I have always said your stash will get you though times with no cash better than cash will get you trough times with no stash.

not only down but many times out of cash too(esp on sundays-after the weekend)

Take the Cash straight out of the Airport and hit the Cambio close by on the Hip strip - They have a very competitive rate and not long line ups usually.!

I have used travelers checks for every trip for 14 years. I get them free at AAA. Never had a hassle or problem using the FX Trader by the HiLo or anywhere else on the island. I also bring cash for tips, taxis and misc. and credit card for hotel and anything major. AAA says that they won't have the checks much longer so I will have to use the ATMs then, resistance is futile...

Will they give you a couple of 5000$ Js if you change out ..say 300US ..or do you have to specifically ask? Tired of the big ass wads of 1000s you take away from the cambios..

I'll give you two 5000j notes for $300 .

You will have a very hard time changing those $5000 bills.

On more than one occasion I've paid with a $1000 bill when buying a beer ($300) and then had to wait while someone took the money and came back with the change because they didn't have it on hand. I think anything bigger than $1000 wouldn't be worth the trouble.

That being said, there's something fun about walking around with $30,000 in cash. I always enjoy the ATM receipt that shows my balance in $JA... makes me feel like a rich person, if only for a moment. (Of course, I don't walk around with that much $JA... it ends up back in the room locked in the safe.)
