Credit cards

Hi there, Going to Bulgaria (Sunny Beach) soon, will be taking plenty of spending money but thinking about taking my credit card (Mint) just incase - have 3 children so its just for extra piece of mind. Does anyone know if this is accepted?

Many thanks

Shaz, Credit Cards are not widely accepted in Bulgaria. You can use them to book excursions with reps but I wouldn%26#39;t bank on them for shopping etc.

Ok thanks, was really just thinking about credit cards incase of an emergency, doctors/hospital etc (i have insurane but was just incase)

I took my credit cards just for peace of mind but only used in shops in Varna - they are not accepted in most places - but should you have an emergency they are great to have as you can always get a cash advance on them. Used my cirus card in the cash machines for additional funds when necessary :)
