Pesos!!

Travelers cheques have become very difficult to cash here. Even most money exchanges do not take them anymore. Bank ATM cards are the best bet. Much better exchange rate

thanx looks like pesos it is and card for emergencies

Frank has said in the past that your bank card is the best bet. Are there not service charges???

While there are some people that feel Travelers Cheques are a waste of time, obsolete, and a major hassle to cash, I disagree. We have stopped using plastic in our travels except for emergencies (don’t forget to tell your cc &/or debit card company you will be in Mexico) and pay cash (peso’s usually). We travel with about 2 or 3 days cash and the rest in American Express Travelers Cheques. We exchange the Travelers Cheques at the resorts we have stayed at (nine different ones) with no problem and normally exchange for about 2 or 3 days expenses at a time. You can get a slightly better exchange rate away from the resort but for us it is not worth the extra hassle and stick with the rate at the resort. We have never had a problem with American Express Travelers Cheques (the key is American Express). We have been doing this every year for the past 14 years.

I can't speak for which resorts cash travelers cheques, just to the fact that the money exchanges here in PM stopped accepting them about 4-5 months ago.

As far as ATM fees, even with the standard fees from most banks the rate of exchange is still higher than the money exchanges

thanx for all advice,its all sorted now and im looking forward to get there now
