Poster: A snowHead
|
Just a head's up when travelling to Banff - Just got back after a great week away - I did not take any currency as I was going to use the cash machine to withdraw money over their, I even opened a nationwide account so that I could withdraw without incurring any fees.
Only problem I found was non of the machines I found took Visa to withdraw cash, It was not a major issue as I have a maestro card that worked ok, one of our party only had visa and ended up paying for the food on a night out and we'd pay him back our share in cash.

bluestar-ale,I don't remember having that problem, and we would have only had a Visa delta card, but it may have been the last holiday we took travellers cheques with us.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

bluestar-ale, perhaps we didn't withdraw any cash then. I'm sure we would have done though, and would remember not being able to.

I used my Nationwide Visa Debit card in Banff at the ATM's, there was a bank down the road from the "Rose & Crown" Pub that I used and it worked fine, cant remember having any problems with the ATMs, this was December 2006.
