I'll be honest, I've never really understood how they work. I mean I understand the cheque part, but the actual cashing with all the signatures - mafic Jan 27, 16:45 1
- olden days people had signatures, not scribble scrawls. Amex would replace lost,stolen checks...this of course is also covered by credit companies - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Jan 27, 17:39
My MIL was the last holdout on those, until someone from her tour group politely told her not to use them anymore. - Reagen Jan 27, 16:35
they were in a recent episode of "mindy" and I thought, "huh, haven't thought of those in a long time." I actually received one as a gift some years - b. Jan 27, 16:07
you don't need letters of transit anymore either -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Jan 27, 16:06
Are they still a thing? Just use an ATM when you get to your destination. -- nm - spamlet Jan 27, 16:01 4
- I used them. Especially after the ATM ate my card the first day of a 3 and half week trip. - tobor.2 Jan 27, 17:06
- I tried to get some for a Vegas trip a few years ago. It was like I sent the poor bank teller on the quest for the Holy Grail. -- nm - nubby Jan 27, 16:12
- yep, and make sure you have a 4 digit pin. -- nm - loosi at home Jan 27, 16:05 1
