When you are traveling to Aruba, are you going to bring cash with you? I want to bring cash so I don't have to fool around with the credit cards but my fiance' told me that it was dangerous to do that. Do you think so?
I would rather use a credit card on a trip away from home. Yeah I would be afraid I would get jacked up if I brought a lot of cash and someone noticed. I think this would be a safety precaution if you traveled anywhere including the US.
Yes for safety reason, I would prefer not to bring too much cash with me during any vacation trips. I would mainly depend on my Visa credit card. I believe most merchants in tourist attractions would accept credit cards.
Similar to the others, I prefer to use credit cards to make payments especially during my vacation trips. It's just way too dangerous to bring too much cash in your pocket when visiting a place you are not familiar to.
I guess I worry differently. I believe I can hide the cash on me. I am just worried if I am and about with my credit card, I am afraid I will loose it.
What if you get rolled while you are at a club somewhere? How are you going to get home or pay your bills while you are there. If you have a credit card you can cancel it and get another to tide you over.
