Thomas Cook Travellers Cheques Review

I sugest you think very carefully about buying travellers cheques from Thomas Cook branches or elsewhere. Ours are in sterling.

You may believe that there are no expiry dates on travellers cheques having purchased some. This is not the case. Our cheques were refused for a refund at the Thomas Cook branch from which they were purchased, being 'the old type'and also could not be used to purchase euro. This is despite a sign on the counter window which says that they do take back travellers cheques.

We took them to the branch along with our passports and were told to pay them into our bank. The teller was pleasnat but firm on this. Our bank won't handle them either.

We would like to know where we go from here
