There are two separate benefits:

Emergency Cheque Cashing Privileges
You can use your Card to cash personal cheques at more than 1,700 American Express Travel Services locations, up to $10,000 per account every 30 days. For each transaction, you may obtain up to $500 in cash and the balance in American Express Travelers Cheques. For information, call 800-525-3355. Outside the U.S., call 954-473-2123.

Fee-Free Travelers Cheques and foreign currency by phone
Platinum Card members can have fee free foreign currency and American Express Travelers Cheques delivered directly to their home or office by postal mail or Next Day delivery (delivery fees vary). When ordered by phone, there are no per item fees for Travelers Cheques (single or dual signature) or foreign cash. The fee for Gift Cheques is $2.50 each. Order directly from American Express at 1-800-673-3782. Delivery fees will apply to each order.

Cheques can also be purchased at banks, at an American Express office near you, or visit americanexpress.com/travelerscheques to purchase online, however per item fees will apply to these non- phone purchases.
