When I was in Ft. Lewis in March I was trying to get something to eat and I went to about 3 different fast food places. Me in my ultimate wisdom decided not to bring any American money, but I thought my debit card would be fine. Turns out my debit card doesn't have a visa or mastercard logo on it, and therefore does not work in the states. Got some money off friends for some burgers. Twas all good. Now I have my credit card so I can just use that if I don't have cash.

However, it is true that Calgary has the highest number of interac transactions per capita in the world. That might go for Canada as well. A lot of people use debit here. Infact, I just used it this morning.
