Why are Travelers Cheques the perfect travel companion?
Travelers Cheques are safer than cash. Unlike cash, if Travelers Cheques are lost or stolen, they can usually be replaced worldwide, within 24 hours.* They can be exchanged for cash at banks, foreign exchange locations, and many American Express Travel Services Offices. Travelers Cheques can also be used like cash to pay for products and services at accepting retail locations, restaurants and hotels. Travelers Cheques never expire: Unused Travelers Cheques can be kept for the next occasion or as a safe reserve. A mix of different payment means is advised. Like cards and a small amount of local currency for initial expenses in the travel destination, Travelers Cheques are also a travel essential. *See Purchase Agreement which is handed over together with the Travelers Cheques.
