If travelling through Yukon, it is wise to carry enough Canadian cash to fill your fuel tank or buy some groceries. Reason is the "system" often goes down up here and credit/debit cards won't work; vendors can do only cash transactions until the "system" gets back online. Sometimes it takes a day...
This past summer, the "system" failed numerous times. One of the failures was due to a contractor accidently cutting the single line that runs alongside the Alaska Highway; this cable runs along the ground surface in places so is vulnerable to damage.
