In Cuba, Tourists have to pay everything in US Dollars. If you're living in a private casa, you need to pay in cash. Not everybody feels safe travelling around with a lot of cash. Traveller checks or Credit cards work fine in Cuba.

BUT: Neither traveller checks from US Banks, nor credit cards from US Institutions can be used in Cuba. Neither American Express traveller checks nor the Amexco credit cards – no matter from which country – are  accepted.

If you are not from the US and have Eurocard, Mastercard or Visa Credit cards from a non-US Bank, you can use them. At banks or large hotels, you can use them to withdraw cash. Anyway, in one way or an other you need US-Dollars in cash to pay.
