I had a terrible time with travelers checks Weasel. The clueless c;erks didn’t know what to do with them. My friends took me to banks to cash them.
I love GB and wouldn’t mind living there. Great place.

You’ll have to change them at a bank, not at a shop. You need to talk to your bank to find out the best way to go. As much as a hassle (and unsafe) as it is, to get the best exchange rate you might need to bring over traveler’s checks and then change them at banks.re: #375 Mad Al-Jaffee

My father has been living in Vienna since the mid 90s. He always tells me when I visit that I should use my Visa debit card to get Euros since Visa has the best rates. But I haven’t visited him in a few years, so that may have changed.

It has changed. A few years ago I’d have said take the Visa debit card and no worries. That isn’t true any more. Not since 2008.
