Banking Hassles Resolved
I Decide on my Bank Of Choice in Mexico
By now I am seriously short of cash. It is Friday at about 3:30, so I’d better get stocked up on pesos before the banks close for the weekend!
On my last trip to Mexico, I learned that exchanging traveler’s cheques is troublesome and that my credit cards and cash cards did not work in any ATM. This was in Oaxaca. What did work was to go into any bank and ask the teller for a cash advance from my credit card. I pay my credit card in advance, before leaving Canada, so that I do not have to pay interest on the cash advance. I don’t even know the PIN for my credit cards, since it was of no use on my last trip to Mexico.
