Hi everyone
I am thinking about getting one of the new American Express Travellers Cheque Cards to use in the DR.
Has anyone used one over there? Are they widely accepted - can you use them anywhere that accepts the normal American Express credit card?
Also - they come in GBP, EUR & USD.....obviously I would get one in USD....however would I get ripped off on the exchange rate when paying in USD instead of pesos??.....i.e. is the exchange rate set by the shop or by American Express??
Lastly - if it gets stolen they say that they will replace ot within 24hrs and reload any funds you had on the card at the time it was stolen.....where would you go to pick up a replacement card?....
Thank you!
