Quite frankly, I would not see the use of them, cash and CCs will work fine here.


It is known FACT, there are some places that do NOT take credit cards on both sides of the island.

That's why cash was mentioned along with cc in the post. Good to have both.


Yes, but if the place does NOT accept a credit card then it (credit card) is useless at that particular place.

Regarding Travelers Checks in general, IF you can find them to even take with you, there have been reports the last year or so of many places not accepting or cashing them. I had a couple of old ones with me last trip and I did cash them in a casino. Sadly, TC are pretty much a thing of the past but with not every business on SXM taking credit cards, having a reasonable amount of cash is necessary.
