USING TRAVELER'S CHECKS

When you travel to the United States, you should carry most of your funds in traveler's checks. If these are not available to you in your home country, buy them at the airport in the United States as soon as you arrive. Traveler's checks provide a safe way to carry money while traveling. They are insured against theft, loss, and damage. With proper identification, you can cash them easily in most places in the United States.
Traveler's checks can also be purchased in most banks. A small fee is added for each check. At the time of purchase you will be asked to sign your name on each traveler's check. Sign each check only once as you are directed. As you cash each check, you will be asked to sign it a second time to verify that you are the person to whom the check was issued. Sign you name "in English" (that is, the way you will be writing your signature in the United States) in the presence of the person to whom you are giving the check.
Be sure you keep a record of your traveler's checks. The bank clerk will give you a form on which to write the numbers of all the checks issued in your name. On this form, alongside each check number, is a space for the date and place you cash the check. Keep this list with you and record data as you use the checks. However, do not keep the list with your traveler's checks. This is for your records, and the information is important in case your checks are lost or stolen and you need to file a claim for reimbursement.
