Transferring Travellers Cheques - right way to do it?

Clarissa88_2

Hi there,

I have some Euro Travellers Cheques (countersigned) that I want to gift to my younger cousin who will be travelling in a months time.

I wonder is there any way for me to 'transfer' the TCs to them such that she can use it while she's abroad?

If not, I wonder will it be a good idea to report them as 'lost', then when Amex reissue new ones for me, that I just take them and give it to her to sign, so it effectively become hers?

Hope someone can give some ideas about this! Thanks.

Surely, that would be fraud?

I know it may sound like it... but I am not doing it for any gain whatsoever. Really just trying to think of a way to gift the TCs to my cousin.

Call Amex and ask. You don't want to be up for some kind of fraud charges for something so small (now if it was a few million ...)
