$100 bills are ok, so long as it's a place where they do a lot of business. A nice restaurant in Grand Case, Pineapple Pete, Dreams, obviously, no problem. Casino? Obviously no problem. Jewelry store?? No, that's not enough money to spend in a jewelry store. You need a credit card!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> A lolo? Probably not.
Don't know the answer on the sunscreen.

Mjc said: I know its in past posts but can not find it. Is Neutrogena sunscreen available in St Martin? We are debating packing ours and paying bagage fee or do just carry-ons and buy sunscreen there. It is the only brand that seems to work on my wife. We use Neutrogena and bring our own. The tubes are 3 oz, and you can cram 6 or 7 tub into a quart ziplock bag. I do not remember seeing it on the island.

A lot of places on the island are not taking $100 bills right now due to fakes that started to circulate about 4-6 weeks ago. I saw quite a few signs when I was last there 2 weeks ago at various places saying they were not accepting $100 bills at this time. Story here

Many cards now don't charge the foreign transaction fee (AA M/C for one). We seldom use cash except for beach chairs and minor things. All the charges go toward the next SXM ticket. We take two cards (and an extra other JIC) and leave one in the safe along with other nonessential IDs etc.

The Maho Market carries Nutrogena Sunblock as well.

Not sure what I would if I were the retailer - a lot of places at home have the minimum charge posted - although debit cards are used with no limits that I have seen. That's why I said we carry cash for small purchases.

That's why I said we carry cash for small purchases. Thats exactly what visa's merchant rules are. They are allowed to set a minimum amount for credit card purchases, not to exceed $10. However, no minimum purchase amount is allowed for debit cards.
