So I'm going to Canada this Summer, for a week or so, I'm sure a lot of people here knows? Not sure. Anyways, I was wondering on what to do, as in how to spend and use my money. I heard that bringing cash was a bad idea, because:
a) I plan on getting wasted at my gf's Prom
b) ^You're screwed if your wallet is stolen.
So I have a Debit Card and a Credit Card (2,000 dollars limit). I heard some people said use a Debit card because the exchange rate for Dollars to Canadian currency was better. HOWEVER, other people also said that using a Credit Card was better. I have a Mastercard "Citizens Bank" Debit card, and a 1st Financial Bank Visa card, if that matters. Just kinda curious about this. I also heard about something called a Traveler's Check, sounds complicated. Any tips?
PS: Going to Montreal, Quebec, if that helps me out at all. <_<
