[pct-l] Travelers cheques/checks

[Mark Jernigan]

Craig     ...not sure if this would be a sound method on the PCT but during my AT thru in 2003 I carried a debit card and would get "cash back" ocassionally so that I always had a sufficient amount of cash when needed.  Rather than carry a big "wad" of money I typically asked for $50 bills.
   
  So, I guess I wonder now if getting "cash back" using a debit card is still a viable option ??

  Hi All,
My bank is planning on charging me a fee every time I use my credit 
card in America. In an effort to avoid that, and avoid carrying large 
wads of cash I thought I would try travelers cheques. It is likely 
that the small towns along the way would cash them? If not, do most 
of the ATMs give cash out on credit-cards or are they mostly for 
debit cards like Switch/Eftpos systems else where?

Cheers,
Craig
