Mexican Visa card--good idea?

[colleen]

Glad I read all the responses. I thought you were talking about your visa status. Finally got on the right page and realize you are talking about a credit card. I have an account at Bancomer and have had it since before we lived here. A MX friend opened it for my husband and I but he got off of it years ago and it's in my name now. I don't see a benefit to getting the credit card they keep offering me. But if I need to pay for something and don't want to use cash, I use my debit card. I've never had a problem with it. I never use my US credit card unless I am buying something that I want to pay for with dollars. I have bought things from Mercado Libre and bought car parts from Ford, tiles and other things from a large tile store. No problem. One time I used a US debit card to get cash from an ATM just to see how it would work. WAAAY too expensive. That was the first and last time.
