No need to have these travellers cheques whatsoever. Use cards etc.

Funny enough, the other day noticed one of the travel agencies encouraging people to have one of their pre paid cards so they can "load up" the card with cash( so to speak), and draw it out anywhere in the world.

That would avoid the need for travellers cheques.

Have always used travellers cheques in France and found very few problems cashing them.  Last year, though, the main post offices were cashing them with no commission charges.

We found that banks would not cash travellers cheques.  They just just shrugged.  Ended up queuing for ages in the Post Office.
