Supermarkets / Places that Take Credit Cards?

Do any of te supermarkets in Ho Chi Minh take payment by credit card?  preferably near district 1 or 3?  Also, what restaurants take credit?  So far I've only been able to use it at Pizza Hut and a couple high priced places in D1.  Kfc doesn't even take them.


Thanks in advance.

The big supermarkets in District 2 take cards.  Annam Gourmet and the big An Phu supermarket opposite.  I would imagine that Annam in central D1 does also.

Mostly to the more upscale restaurants takes cards but that only accounts for 1% of your options.

This is still a very cash based economy.

pretty much agree with James, there a lot of places that take cc, but mainly downtown more expensive places.
Not all of them that advertise take them either, so don't be fooled by any signs you may see.

Citimart, usually take them.

Nguyen Kim takes them and know how to use chip n pin, unlike some of the other places I've tried :)

Some taxi's take them too.


But generally cash is King here and will be for a long time yet.

Central Mart at Saigon Pearl takes credit cards. Although their machines tend to be down every so often and I grew tired of that and always bring cash.
