TL;DR
Letim card acceptance in Antalya appears unreliable: some travelers were able to pay, while others reported frequent declines. Carry some Turkish lira cash and a backup payment method.
A recent report says Letim is no longer widely accepted and works only at selected merchants. Do not rely on it as your only payment method.
One traveler reported that the card was declined almost everywhere, and withdrawing Turkish lira from an ATM took more than one attempt. You may need to try several ATMs for cash withdrawal.
A traveler in Antalya found that Letim worked roughly every other time: payments sometimes went through, but declines were frequent.
One report from the previous season says Letim payments worked well, while an RSHB card was not accepted everywhere. Conditions may have changed, so bring a backup card.
There is also a positive past experience: one user paid with Letim in many places without any declines. However, later reports suggest results depend on the individual terminal and merchant.
