Our 1st time to Cancun. Does the walkmart take American dollors or do we need to convert it before we get there? 2 week from today we arrive woohoo.
I would advise pesos, I have read some of the local threads on here and they are starting to get resistance using dollars there. Just make sure you can use your bank card in Mexico (all it takes is to call a bank) and make a withdrawl at an ATM, look for a 'real bank one' common ones are HSBC, and Scotiabank. Like the bar ones at home the privately owned ones always charge you more!
Use your credit card if you have one. They give you a fare exchange rate and its less cash you have to carry, and you get your Reward points if applicable. Call your provider before departure to avoid any problems.
