Australian Travellers Cheques
Hi
Going on holiday to Brisbane in February and just wondered if you can get Aussie Travellers cheques that work the same as the ones in the States ie you use them as cash.

Do they still have travellers cheques? 99.9% of businesses won't accept any types of cheques, especially when made out to cash (forget it), unless prior arrangements have been made. Plastic (ie Mastercard, VISA) and ready cash are preferred over cheques.

hi we brought them over with us only because we went to singapore for five days and tookcash there then came to au with as much cash as we could bring but brought most of it over in travellers cos its a safer way of carrying it .ill agree though not many places want to know when it comes to cashing it in but wasnt really a problem for us as we opened a bank account and paid it all in there.

We used Aus travellers cheques on our rekkie in November. We only really used them as cash to pay entry to the theme parks. Mostly we just went to westpac bank and changed them into cash. We were not charged any fees for doing this.

Use credit card. They mostly charge a 2.75% currency exchange addition, but two don't: Nationwide and one other. If you have time get a Nationwide card and save the 2.75%!
