Based on my experience,

Bring the local currency alongside the USD. If you don't have credit card, your maybank card with Visa Plus facilities will help out. You need to activate the features first, so you can withdraw anywhere in the world...

The best bargain to change your money will be at the Avenue K money changer near the food court, they have slightly lower mid rate and can ask for some discounts if your lucky

USD is pretty low. Most bring brit quid or euros.
maybankcard supports cirrus or maestro. with that alone u can withdraw in most parts of the world. cant say for african continent. never been there.
Avenue K got 2 which one ? The one nearer to the underground Kim Gary or the G floor ? coz if its the one near Kim Gary then i'd say u're dead wrong.

OK..Just found out that wawasan money changer (The one in basement Ctr Court Mid Valley) is having a webiste:

Cool now everyone here can use this as the benchmark.....For sure no other place that I hv checked even from Port Klang/PJ/Puchong & KL having such pricing......the bad thing about them- Parking rate RM3 at Mid Valley during weekend & probably distance/toll/petrol going there...
