Question

i wanted to bring about 500 bucks down to cancun next week. im gonna bring most in traveler's checks, but if i cant use them at clubs/bars, im not going to bring as much

Answer 1

hey,   american money goes alot further, in the clubs, they will give you a hard time.  and oh yea, your change will be in mexican money.....  ive been there a few times, bring american cash. just be careful!

Answer 2

Traveller's check can only be exchanged at money exchanges, some banks and if you lucky you hotel.

Answer 3

No they won't accept them in clubs.  Probably just hotels and banks.  Much better exchange rate if you get pesos from an ATM

Answer 4

Most places in Cancun will not accept Traveler's Checks. In fact, I can't think of any place (aside from banks) that will accept them. I wouldn't bring anything down except a credit card, or two. There are ATM's all over Cancun. If you bring down American money the best place to exchange (the highest exchange rate) your money will be Walmart, or Cosco. The banks do not give as good a rate as the stores mentioned above.

I was in Walmart today, and the exchange rate was 10.83.
