No, I would say that credit cards are NOT more widely accepted in SXM than cash. Cash can always be used in SXM. Most places accept credit cards also. Not something to be overly concerned with, one way or another.

I agree with Carol. Many restaurants, especially more upscale ones, and most large grocery stores and many shops accept credit cards, especially for larger purchases. But cash is more prevalent than in Canada. So yes, you need to bring some cash, but make sure it is USD, not Canadian! There are ATMs readily available that will dispense USD using your Canadian debit card if you need to replenish the cash, so no need to bring a large stash with you initially.

We found that when dinning on the French side using your CC was best for the exchange rates. In this climate, the privateers are happy to have cash!! And as one poster said, make sure it's USAD currency!!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!
