Meg S asked:


What is the best strategy for money when going to mexico? should i just take a credit and debit card, and take money out of the atm in pesos when i need it? Do they take discover cards in mexico at most places?

      Mexico honey runs mainly on cash….Get your money converted before you go shopping….

      Good luck!

      Take cash. Normally I would recommend taking a debit card. However, I just read a new rules that they are limiting atm withdraws to about $25 per transaction with a maximum of 3 transaction per day. So you can only withdraw $75.00 per atm card in a 24 hour period.
