Changing money-

[Limo Mon]

Thanks Ras! Will make note of that. Good rate and probably better than my local guy with the big wad of cash in his pocket!

He has the big wad cause people (suckers)( to myself) exchange money with him.

I'm not sure why so many use the cambios when ATMs will give a better rate.

There are banks that have no ATM fees AND refund any fees charged if you use an out of network ATM.

When I use my TD Bank ATM card, I get money exchanged using up to the minute rates, no fees, no charges. Beats the cambio every time. If you're getting less than 110 JA for every $1 USD, you might be doing it wrong.

That is a NO NO ! Limo Mon rule #3 Never ever exchange money on the street or with the big guy in the parking lot NEVER.

So true Limo! But the big guy was introduced to me by my husband- I guess they went to school together and so I went to him for that reason alone. He may have not been fair to others, but he was always to me- probably because of his friendship with my husband. I did not know there was a cambio in front of Bourbon Beach!

cambio in front of bourbon beach, very easy access...always use it, and rate not like 108 when it was 110, so i give up a little for the easy access

And Scotia ATM right across the street in Time Square...take your pick if one is closed or out of cash.

the cambio in front of bourbon beach does not really have a sign...it is the building by the road as u enter the drive way to bourbon beach...

I always use the ATMs. Scotia Bank had not charged me transaction fees until this past trip. Not sure what the deal was this time. Generally, it is a bad idea to exchange money on the street. Not only are you going to expose all of your cash in open view, but you're also likely to get ripped off. Those guys aren't doing it for free.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions!
