Dear Spiders travelling to Montreal,
I'm not sure what kind of exchange rate you will get at the airport
but most of those services have a fee associated with them. You
should check the conditions of your debit card.
I agree. I've been using my debit card every time I travel, whether
within US or abroad. My bank charges a fee for withdrawing money form a
bank other than itself (thankfully, more and more branches of it are
springing around US <g>) but it's still smaller than that charged by my
credit card and the exchange rate always seems better, too. Just don't
forget to prime up the pump (your checking account) before you leave
and request a paper slip which will tell you how much you have left.
Clay is right that the cash cows in the Convention hotels tend to run
dry at the most inopportune moments. It is therefore advisable to scope
out other possibilities within easy walking distance, or to fortify
your purse when you're out to dinner/sightseeing, etc.
