Thoughts on Cash

[ellie666]

in the old days we all used to take Travellers Cheques and cash but obviously with so many debit and credit cards giving better exchange rates and fee-less do we think it's still worth taking some plain old cash with?

I'm thinking a couple of hundred $$$ to allow for tips or simpler smaller purchases.

what do you guys think?

This question gets asked a lot. It's totally up to you what you do.

I went for 2 weeks in June and didn’t use cash once, but as always the decision is yours

I’ve been using a combination. Do you have a car booked? I’d recommend cash for fuel.

I took $250 cash and the rest on my Monzo card, I was getting rid of my $$ on the last day

Always take cash for food, fuel and tips.
Being mindful of the limit travel insurance covers for cash.

From a personal perspective we don’t feel happy with loaded cash cards , but take credit cards for back up .
Everyone is different and appreciate that you only asked for thoughts 😁

100% identical to us.

Take the maximum cash covered by our travel insurance and top it up at Wawa whose ATMs are fee free.

Cash for all restaurants, gas and small supermarket shops. Credit card for larger retail stuff, car hire swipe and emergencies.

We’ve $850 in cash, the rest is on our Starling & Revolut plus a Halifax Clarity. Always use cash for fuel & tips in restaurants, and most of the time we take cash out at the wawa garage and use that anyway as we know where we’re at.

Here now. Using a combination. No issues with either.

So how do you folks take cash out at the Wawa ATM's? Using your credit card? Monzo, Revolut?

That would be very handy, especially as its fee free.
