    Every single time. Everyone i know uses them 2. They dont cost me any extra and are a lot more secure then cash so for that reason i get them.

    I think bringing your debit card is just as secure. If you lose it just cancel it and use your back-up credit card. And if there is fraud on the card, just dispute the charges and your bank will reimburse you.

    I always bring my debit card while traveling, I've never had an issue---yet!

    The only thing with that is well with my bank.

    1. I get charged every time i do a transaction abroad.
    2. If i loose my card im *****.


    I do normally take my card as a backup plan.

    i always take travellers cheques when i go anywhere but never did take them to cancun for some reason.

    always have my cash and my debit card, although the bank charges a shit load to withdraw cash over there.

    No you're not, just dispute the charges on the card and you would be reimbursed if you see any unauthorized charges....
