On my first visit to bali, I was horrified when my Westpac card could not be accessed. Luckily I had my husbands commonwealth card or I would have been stranded. I now take cash and find it much easier to control spending, taking a daily 'shopping' allowance from safe each day. If I happen to get ripped off or had too many bintangs to calculate conversion properly, the worst I can do is blow the days spending. I was also amazed how easily 10,0000 can be mistook for 100,0000 in the excitement of a purchase. I use VISA for large purchases. Has any one else had problems with accessing their cards for eftpos???
