This is the market where you can use your credit card to buy gas or diesel for Pemex. Be aware they charged us 74p for 700p of diesel so either that is a flat fee or 10.5%. You simply bring your credit card receipt to Pemex afterwards and hand it to the attendant.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
we've been staying at Campo Achelon since February 2nd. today's March 9th so we've been here a little more than 2 months. as far as we've experienced this store and Mercado Isla, this yellow store charges a 3% credit card fee and Mercado Isla charges a 4% credit fee. HOWEVER, you have to check the amount, otherwise they charge you whatever amount they want to. it is really odd but it is true. I had to confront them (Mercado Isla) one time because they charged a ridiculous amount so I noticed it. we are stuck here until the pandemic is better. in the US so we are living like locals. since the happening I always check if the amout is correct. maybe they are not that good at math. :)
