Travellers' cheques are slowly dying a death but given how much they cost, consumers should confine them firmly to the grave.

MoneySavingExpert.com research reveals travellers' cheques often offer among the worst possible value on holiday money. See our Travel Credit Card guide for the best cards to use abroad. In contrast, the top plastic or right bureau de change gives you far more euros, dollars or yen to your pound. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/t ... rs-cheques

Haven't seen a T.C. since the 70's. Amex was the most preferred. Paid a fee upfront & a fee on cashing but they were what it was for BKPKN Europe.
