U.S. credit cards at major hotels in Yangon
Are major hotels in Yangon accepting U.S. credit cards these days for
reservations and restaurant bills these days? I found the following note on the website of Yangon's Savoy Hotel: "Travel advisory: As a result of reinforced sanctions by the US, the following credit cards (including traveller's checks) - AMERICAN EXPRESS, DINERS, VISA, MASTER - will not be accepted to settle any monetary transactions in Myanmar. "Please be advised that USD cash is accepted. We suggest that you carry USD notes in small denominations." Thanks very much, Barry in L.A. |

U.S. credit cards at major hotels in Yangon
When taking US cash be sure to take only new or almost new notes with
nothing written on them. The funny thing is that when they give you change in local currency it is often in the most disgusting state. We had lightly used notes (with tiny tears etc in them) refused on several occasions but when we insisted we had nothing else ('flying out in two hours etc'), magically they could be accepted. Better though to take good clean notes in the first place. Have a great time. Sue "Alfred Molon" wrote in message news.com... In article , says...
