Traveler's Checks

[Andrea J.]

typically if we have any left at end of a vacation we use them to pay the ransom to release the dog from the kennel

we now never put them away for a rainy day

Is it a good idea...do a lot of places (restaurants) take them??? or better to bring cash and a CC don't want to use the CC too much...just had a bout with someone getting the number of 2 of our cards and trying to charge in Georgia, we live in mass.

Cash and credit cards are the norm ,but they do except travelers checks.

[sunworshipperII]

I think usually wherever you are staying will cash them too

We normally bring teavelers checks. You can cach them either at your hotel, or at any of the casinos.

----- At restaurants I usually use Travel Checks and then cash. It seems over the years that is where cc #'s are copied and then used elsewhere.

We have never had problem cashing traveler's checks at Casino or our hotel - the Renaissance.

We will be taking cash, Traveler's Cheques and CC.

I prefer to use a CC as little as possible to avoid any fees, and limit
the exposure for potential fraud. If you are not staying at any of the resorts, but may be dining there or simply passing through, will they still cash a Traveler's Cheque for you?

Cash them at a casino instead.

I did just read, forgive me I cannot put my finger on where, that someone had just eaten dinner at a restaurant which did not accept traveler's checks.
