location.payment.cash
Highly card-preferred city. Cash rarely needed - mainly for tips, small vendors, some dive bars. Contactless and mobile pay dominant.
location.payment.currency_exchange
Exchange rare in Chicago - use cards or ATM! Travelex at O'Hare Airport terrible rates (8-12% markup). Loop/downtown has few exchanges - World's Money Exchange on State St. okay. BEST: Use ATM from major bank (Chase, Bank of America) - no foreign card fees at their ATMs. Avoid independent ATMs in convenience stores - high fees.
