Travellers Cheque Card

Travellers Cheque Card Information
Going away on holiday soon? Take the new American Express Travellers Cheque Card. This Card is prepaid and reloadable, so you decide how much money you'll need. You can load your Card with a minimum of £200 and up to £3000 (or equivalent in US Dollars or Euro). All it takes to reload is one quick phone call from anywhere in the world. The minimum reload is £50 (or equivalent) and you can reload up to a maximum of £3000 (or equivalent) in any 14 day period.

If your Card is lost or stolen, the remaining funds on your Card - just like American Express Travellers Cheques - can be returned usually within 24 hours. American Express can also help you replace lost passports and major credit/debit cards. Valid for 3 years, it is ideal for multiple holidays, as unused funds can be used the next time you go away.

"The Travellers Cheque Card can be used to withdraw cash from ATMs worldwide (up to £250 per day, or equivalent) and can be swiped like a payment card - making it easy to pay for all kinds of goods and services at millions of retailers, restaurants and hotels.

Carry an American Express Travellers Cheque Card and you can be sure that your Card - and the money it represents - is protected and supported by the American Express 24 hour helpline assistance. You will receive your American Express Travellers Cheque Card 5 - 7 working days from the date American Express approves your order. You can have up to four cards, so your family can carry money safely too."
