Hi guys, quick question. Is it better to bring cash or using credit card is better to spend in US? I have a Maybank and CIMB credit cards

Most places use card/paywave these days. Cash is still accepted but it's just a hassle.

credit card but the rate is insane and i used cash for tipping.

Can use Bigpay card also

Anyone went or planning to go to the states this year?

What is the best way to make payments? Cash? Wise? BigPay?

Definitely cards are widely accepted everywhere in US. As to which ones (Wise/BP/GX) is best, it all depends on you. For example, if you have USD in your WISE card, then it is good to use WISE to pay. But if you don't, GX may be better as there is no FX markup and a rebate is given.

Sorry can't give a definite answer. You just need to understand all resources that you have, your anticipated spending and make the best of it.

Enjoy your trip.

I use GX most of the time unless some small merchant need min spending amount for card.
No FX markup, rate looks good and 1% cashback (unfortunately stop soon til 5Nov).
