Credit Cards

10 years ago

We know that in Ecuador, cash is king and when dealing with small merchants it's the mighty dollar that willk get you good deals. The 2 questions I have for you guys are, 1) What bills/utilities/expenses can you use a credit card without additional fees/charges and 2) what do you use a credit card for (or do you at all). The advantage of a no transaction fee card is that you are using up money from "back home" where ever that may be, the card offers you more protection, has you carrying less cash and might even be earning you points.
