American Express® Travelers Cheques

Travelers checks are accepted in many countries. They are legendary for travelers because if they are lost or stolen they can usually be replaced within 24 hours.

When traveling in Europe, many merchants do not accept travelers checks so you should cash them at a bank for the best rate. Since banks and exchange houses regularly charge a fee for each U.S. dollar travelers check converted, it's best to use higher denominations to minimize fees.

You can purchase Travelers Cheques at any AAA Hudson Valley location
