Re: usd money....

I don't know if the opposite is true, but when I need to buy Euros, 
Pesos, or other currencies with my US dollars, I get the best deal by 
using an ATM machine in the country I'm visiting. That way I get the 
exchange rate without a surcharge.

Subject: usd money....



Just wondering - with regards to my USA trip - I was thinking of
not
bringing any cash at all, and just paying my spending money off my
visa. It
will be a great help for tax purposes etc, and I rarely carry cash
here any
more, I usually use EFTPOS for everything. How widely accepted is
VISA in
the States?  Are you able to pay taxi's etc with VISA?  Or should I
carry
some cash with me?  What about on GFM?  Are there any teller
machines that
will allow me to withdraw cash from my VISA?  I have a pretty large
purchase
that I will be making whilst I am over there and will need to get
my hands
on at least USD$650 whilst I am  on the mountain (or beforehand to
bring
with me)....
