How to Cash American Express Travelers Checks

American Express Travelers Cheques provide a safe alternative to carrying money around in a foreign location. You can exchange them for cash or use them to pay for goods and services. Signing your Travelers Cheques in the upper left corner as soon as you receive them provides protection if they are lost or stolen. A Cheque can’t be cashed unless the signature given at the time of the transaction matches the original signature.
