RE: Credit cards

You have to work pretty hard to find a place in AC that won't accept your credit card. (Perhaps the fresh orange juice and bbq chicken guy on Back Street won't). I've never seen any type of conversion charge on my cards, but that's not to say it doesn't happen. We've never returned with more BZ$ than we wanted to bring home. A few days before you are scheduled to return start asking for your change in US$ and most of the local businesses will accomodate you.

If you are departing, the Jet Bar at the airport will ALWAYS give you change in US$.

Of course if you keep a lot of BZ$ it is a great excuse to go back..

Also you can use the BZ$ to pay your departure tax at the airport, $15.00 per person I believe.

A while ago atlantic bank was planning to get an ATM and they actually build the structure for it.. As for May they didn't have it, but i don't know about now or when they plan to get it.

thanks all. think i'll just use my cc and skip the hassle, man! no worries, right?

We went to the bank and drew cash from our credit card---they charged $7.50 for the service but we found thro most everyone takes credit cards on the tourist locations, it is much easier to deal in cash, especially if you are traveling with others
