Prepaid Credit Card

[Roadtripster]

Anyone use the prepaid Credit Cards in the Caribbean?

 

I usually use them all over when I travel, even to Europe and have had no problems with them.

 

I would like to use them at the ports. Since I will be doing a lot of water excursions, I thought it would be easier and "drier" to carry a prepaid card instead of cash. Then I don't have to worry about how much cash to have on me.

Yes, you can use them, but not everyplace will accept credit cards (which is how a pre-paid card is treated), like some of the "straw markets" are cash only. The larger, brick and mortar stores will take it.

Definately, the brick & mortar stores will accept them. The local crafts fairs, etc won't. Last March when I was in the Caribbean, I used my plastic at Brick & mortar & good ole US$ at every place else.

Thanks! I don't shop so I am mainly just planning on using it to pay for food at places or for some of my excursions.
