My fiancee and I went last year in October and used one and it was fine. I don't remember where but we had $1000 on ours and it was cool. Hope this helps.
Would still take a Credit Card or American Express Travel Checks as a backup.
Every few months on one of the many Aruban BB's you heard where someone's card number is used after they have used it. Yes you call and Protest and get your $$$ back in a few days but what happens in those few days if you need $$$. It may only happen to one in ten thousands but it has happen.
