Have almost decided on Parks & Canyons holiday in sept 2012 but one little niggling poblem top of my list is the Grand Canyon, I enquired the cost of helicopter flight with your travel advisers price given approx £180 however this could not be paid in cash, only credit card, having had a rather bad experience paying by credit card abroad, asked if the Maestro Cash Card would be acceptable, I have had no problems with this method in Europe, over the net etc, although when abroad I make sure there is always enough cash there to meet any purchases, but having not traveled to America before, this would most definately spoil my holiday if I could not do this trip.

your advisers thought it would be fine, but i do not think they were really sure. I know I am and old age pentioner having a senior moment, would appreciate if you could look into this before I take the plunge.

I always take plenty of currency for most purchases , just the odd one by this method or emergencies.

Look forward to hearing from you, so I can make-up my mind.

Thank you.

I expect you will be able to use your card in the US but I would also advise you to contact your card issuer and ask them the question, as they will know for sure. You may be better off getting a cash card based on US dollars rather than euros.

By the way, my information shows that this trip costs around £114 (2011 prices), so perhaps you were quoted a price in dollars? Also, the documentation doesn't say anything about having to pay by card so you should have the option of paying by cash too.

I hope you will take the plunge and book as this is a fantastic tour.
