mutare Posted November 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2013 We are off to cruise New Zealand next week. I have NZ$, an Aussie debit card and a credit card. The bank is trying to persuade me to get a travel money card. Is it really necessary? Advice appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greensteam Posted November 27, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I wouldn't think so, sounds like them trying to sign you up to fill a quota. Credit card and cash will be all you need. I just did a 14 day Fiji Adventure and all I took was my one card and a couple of hundred dollars. My MasterCard was accepted everywhere except for the small islands where I took cash ashore. $AUD accepted everywhere and they even gave change most places.

The_Big_M Posted November 27, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Nah, you're well covered. Even if the AUD collapses, you still have NZD :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzBuzzen Posted November 27, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Big M is right , we were there last year and the ATM's all happily dispense the Kiwi funny money :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutare Posted November 27, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Very helpful thank you. Nothing can be worse than the Zim $ so I'm sure we'll cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from getting $us before we travel to the USA, we always get local money from atm's with our credit card. The rates are usually pretty good.
