Gershep Posted June 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I heard that other than the casino you need to use a credit card to purchase food, drinks, etc. in Atlantis. Does anyone know if they accept Discover card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuttut Posted July 2, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Doesn't seem like it.. "Only credit cards are accepted for purchases in Atlantis (Visa, MasterCard, and American Express)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gershep Posted July 2, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thanks all! Last night I emailed Atlantis and they said that they do accept Discover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwtlcambre Posted July 3, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 3, 2014 So, Atlantis does not accept cash at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershep Posted July 3, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Cash accepted only in casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwtlcambre Posted July 25, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2014 So how do you pay for lunch and such, credit card? I was thinking about doing a day pass but am skeptical about using a credit card abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershep Posted July 25, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted July 25, 2014 You have to use a credit card. Make sure your charge card company doesn't charge an additional fee for international charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted July 26, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Cash accepted only in casino. That's what I was thinking because I remember using cash in the casino unless things have changed which they sometimes do. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwtlcambre Posted September 26, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I wonder if you could get a visa or mastercard gift card prior to going with a few hundred bucks on it. I would feel a bit better than using my personal credit card outside the USA. It's bad enough having to deal with the potential hackers here in the states.

Langoustine Posted September 26, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Your liability for charges made on a hacked credit card is effectively zero. What happens if your gift card gets hacked and all the money on it disappears? You can eventually get it restored (just like if your atm/debit card gets hacked), but it's more complicated in the short run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershep Posted September 27, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted September 27, 2014 A prepaid gift card would be a good idea with a low balance but I don't know if they are accepted. With your regular credit card make sure to let the card company know that you will be using it outside the USA so they don't put a hold on it for suspicious activity.

Some prepaid cards are NOT accepted. Check with the bank/company that offers them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merlurker Posted September 27, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 27, 2014 A regular Visa/MC gift card will not be accepted outside the US. Visa does offer a "travel money card". I just purchased one at my AAA office. Normally a 14.95 charge but for members $4.95. Can be used almost anywhere in the world. I'm not comfortable using my personal cards outside the US either. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CD0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fusa.visa.com%2Fpersonal%2Fpersonal-cards%2Fprepaid-cards%2Ftravel-money.jsp&ei=fk4nVOwN0JzKBK3ZgPAG&usg=AFQjCNEjQxU0j4Ly67Y54p9sIcL8eAtJgA&sig2=IIaqPY4kTPctPW7gv1JIWg&bvm=bv.76247554,d.aWw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwtlcambre Posted October 3, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Thanks, may have to look into one of these to with a low amount on it. That way if it is hacked o stolen, not a lot lost. Have never used my credit card out of the country, just good old Benjamin's which can't be hacked...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikib Posted October 3, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Atlantis sells "gift cards" that can be purchased with cash and used throughout the property. You can find them in the gift shops at Atlantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
