The benefit is that you buy them with your airline credit card and get miles for the purchase. If you buy at the beginning of your credit card cycle, you can get maybe 45 days' free interest, plus the miles. You just take the traveler's checks and deposit them in your account. No one I know of actually uses them to travel with. Foreign countries want you to show ID and do not understand that the whole point of traveler's checks is that the signature is the ID.

I had no idea you could buy T Chks with a credit card. Like you can't buy a money order with a credit card (or can you do that now, too). Anyway, thanks for the tip, Doakes.
