How to Obtain Travelers Checks Online

Travelers checks are available in a variety of denominations, including Euro, Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar, U.S. Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Travelers checks are a safe way to travel with a lot of money, as they can be refunded if they are lost or stolen. While banks and travel agencies sell travelers checks in person, American Express is the only place to get travelers checks online as of December 2009. A valid American Express card is required to be able to place orders for travelers checks on the web. The travelers checks can be purchased with the American Express card or cardholders with American Express Membership Reward points can convert the points into travelers checks.
