commission on TCs ?

[Keith]

Perhaps it's strange, but I've only ever taken cash over there

Im tempted to get Travellers Cheques this time but I've been reading that sometimes commission can be charged to cash them

"As with all Travellers Cheques, when cashed at a bank or bureau de change a commission charge may be applied and the amount varies from country to country and outlet to outlet. "

Now, I guess from what I've read from here that I'll never actually have to cash any, I can just spend them as cash? Does that go for basically everywhere in Orlando including restaurants outside Disney etc.?

I just dont want to get into a situation where I end up losing out paying commissions :/ especially with the poor exchange rate

Yes you spend them just like cash. And you get your change in cash.

Have used them lots in the states in Florida Chicago and Wisonsin and never had to pay commision - most places tae them directly as chash

Thanks folks

We always take TCs. DH will usually cash one in each morning, so that we have a bit of cash, at the Resort's main desk and we've never been charged anything.

Unless of course you take sterling checks. Then you will need to cash them.

Do not take sterling checks.

[Keith]

ooo ok so noted! the whole Travellers Cheque thing is new to me.

Do you bother taking ANY dollars as well? or is it just not necessary?

They're great Keith. I was asked for ID with them on our last trip. Only twice,but once in Walmart and once at premium outlets.

I agree!

We take only a small amount of cash, to use when we first arrive. I don't like to carry cash....

ooo ok, so guess it's important to carry my passport around with me if I'm using TCs thanks for that!
