Sam's Club

oceanlover · 04-05-2008

Is Sam's Club worth it for beer/wine? Do they even sell it? Also, can you use your card from the states?

Thanks!

Bluespicker · 04-05-2008

Yes, yes and yes.

Hey, I forget where Sam's is located. Address anyone??

oceanlover · 04-05-2008

Hwy 307 and Juarez is the address showing for the Sam's...does anyone know if they take cc's. In the states they only take sam's credit card and debit cards with a pin number...thanks!

maybe you can get a guest pass, like they do here that will work for the one trip?

No Costco unless you want to travel to Cancun
Guest passes are no longer offered

oceanlover · 04-05-2008

Babaloo, do you know what forms of payment they accept?

they love cash
there's an atm there
i've seen credit cards used but they may be on local banks...i dunno

I used to use my US credit card there. It costs more when you do. AND, most US credit card companies add in their own international charges. Now I just take pesos out of the ATM when I come in the door so I'm prepared (unless I don't, and I make B'loo pay for it

).

We've used our VISA cards at Sam's -although never was able to make the debit / pin situation work.

If you need wine - highly suggest MEGA vs. Sam's Club. We've not found a great selection of wine anywhere - and it's more expensive that the States when we do find it.

Anyone know of a good place to buy bottles of wine ?

Babaloo · 04-06-2008

there's a wine store on Calle 8 across the street from Walmart

oceanlover · 04-06-2008

I don't remember my visa getting charged more last year when I used it in Playa...in fact with the exchange I actually did better...is the exchange still 10 to 1 on pesos to dollars?

Was just in Sam's last week......2 prices indicated on the till for the total....1 for CC and 1 for cash......cash is always lower. Ma-in-law was there the first 3 wks in march and they DID get day passes for Sam's.
