The safe way to protect yourself against an early end to vacation or business travel.

When you travel, you should carry some local currency for tipping, taxis and small purchases. Consider having the bulk of your funds in the form of American Express Travellers Cheques. It's a safer alternative to carrying a lot of cash. American Express is the #1 issuer of travellers cheques all over the globe, because they are:

•		Accepted worldwide.
•		Available in a wide variety of international currencies and denominations.
•		Available in U.S. dollars as Cheques for Two – you and your partner can share the same set of travellers cheques and either one of you can sign them.
•		With Watch and Compare encashment, you sign your Travellers Cheques when they are purchased and countersign when cashing them.
•		Usable on multiple trips – Because they have no expiry date, if you don’t use them on this trip, you can take them along next time!

Traveller's Tip

Hotels will usually cash travellers cheques for their guests free of charge, but to avoid paying fees at other establishments, use your cheques to purchase goods and services whenever you can.
Record the serial numbers of your cheques as you use them, and keep this list separate from the numbers of your unused cheques. This makes replacement easier if they are lost or stolen.
