American express travellers cheques

sak46

Hello

We are off to sydney australia on Friday Yipee, We have got our nationwide debit & credit cards at the ready and we have also got some amex travellers cheques with us, does anyone now if you are charged commision for cashing these at banks.

I have phoned amex and they have given me some addresses of their offices which wont charge commision but I wondered about banks etc.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you looked at this amex link to fee free partners ?

For Oz, I really don't see you needing the Amex TCs. Just keep them as a very last case emergency situation.

Hello Thanks for the link, I have tried this but can you believe Sydney does not come up, but I have just put Melbourne in and it gave me the West pac Bank so hopefully the one in Sydney will be the same.

Thanks Again for your help

It doesn't suprise me - I put in Alice Springs, and that didn't come up either!

I also think that HSBC worldwide will encash Amex travellers cheques fee free as they also issue them.
