I stopped by the AAA office today to purchase some travellers checks in UK Pounds, but I was told that they no longer deal in foreign currency travellers checques due to folks having problems cashing them.

The last time I went to the contenent of Europe, I had no trouble chashing the Euro Travellers checks at banks in Germany. I was not charged anything for their services. Not so in Austria. They charge a fee there.

I had no trouble when I went to the UK in 2005. The Bank of England and the RBS always cashed my travellers checks and never charged a fee.

What are some of your recent experience? I'm trying to find out if AAA is on the level, or just making excuses.
