Anyone else come across this Amex Travellers Cheque Card promo.
My mum's gonna be over in the States for a while and was thinking this might be good for her. In particular, the free $250 given if you deposit $2000.

I can't see any catch as such, except the exchange rate for £Sterling is very poor - about 8 or 9 cents below the commercial rate - plus a £15 transaction fee plus a fee(doesn't say how much) for drawing your money from an ATM.
If you got $250 added for $2000 it would be a good deal - but without that it is a disaster. A debit card is a far better proposition - especially a Nationwide card. Even a credit card is better.0 -
