Credit cards are now being accepted at more retail locations in Oaxaca, Mexico, than ever before, making for a seemingly easy way to travel to the city without having concerns about carrying around cash. But credit card use does have pitfalls which should be considered prior to deciding to restrict oneself to their usage. Thus, one must also consider using an ATM or casa de cambio (exchange house) for changing money in Oaxaca.

Recent Increase in Acceptance of Credit Cards in Oaxaca

Credit cards began to be accepted at gas stations in Oaxaca in or about 2005. Before then cash was the only manner of payment for those travelers to the city arriving by car or renting a vehicle once in the state.

More and more retail shops, and even craftspeople in the villages are now accepting credit cards as well. The arrival of Sam’s Club in Oaxaca during the first decade of this century appears to have signaled to other retailers that customer service would have to improve in order for them to even try to compete with Sam’s. Hence, credit cards began to be accepted by other larger Oaxacan retailers.

Credits cards are accepted at all major supermarket chains in Oaxaca, with presentation of foreign ID as acceptable verification of identification. Using a drivers’ license is acceptable, so one need not carry a passport around.

Credit Card Considerations Prior to Traveling to Oaxaca, Mexico

Before making a decision regarding credit card use in Oaxaca, check with one’s particular home country financial institution, to confirm a couple of matters.

Some financial institutions, at least in the past, have been charging a premium for credit card use in a foreign country. A simple phone call to a company representative should be sufficient to confirm, hopefully, that a premium will not be charged. At the same time, it’s advisable to confirm how the rate of exchange will be calculated (i.e. bank rate plus X, or bank rate alone). Finally, the financial institution should be advised that the card will be used outside of the country during specific dates.
