Traveller Cheques charges to cash?

[julie49]

Hi
Can anyone tell me how much it costs to have traveller cheques exchanged, is it a flat rate or %.  The Romanaza have confirmed they do cash them but did not mention charges.  Would you suggest euro or sterling??  Thanks

I seem to remember a 2% charge when we last took cheques with us.

Try Noyla (Noula) in the San Stefanos Travel Office, one of the best places - I don't remember any charges there!

If anyone is planning to use there credit or debit card it seems it is best to tell your bank before you travel.I have heard of peoples cards being cancelled as the bank had not been informed (I assume this is to help stop theft ).

my son used my credit card in the usa last year and my card was then refused in places until i contacted the company and told them it was ok. its quite a good thing really if a bit of a nuisance.

my sister and her husband were in a very posh place in new york having a meal and there card was declined they had not told the bank so had to phone up and get them to pay the bill

Definitely worth telling your bank especially if you are going to rely on your cards for your spends.

Used to bank with First Direct, They stopped my debit card two years in a row despite me telling them that I was going to Corfu a few days before departure. My wifes debit card worked fine every time.

!!!!!! It was a joint account !!!!!!
