When traveling should I use my credit cards or travelers checks?
Some people do, still use travelers checks, I think it comes with your level of comfort and there are some people who are very comfortable with using travelers checks but on the other hand there's alot of people who are comfortable with using credit cards and really the way that credit cards operate today they seem to be a more common, more secure method of being able to make your purchases. One of the reasons is that there's alot of billing protection so if anything goes wrong, you have a lot of protection on your side with credit cards. The other thing is that they're a little easier to handle because it's just one card that you give to people and they're accepted basically everywhere these days and you also are not paying a transaction fee for travelers check and you don't have to worry about someone who doesn't take travelers checks because there are some merchants and some hotels now that don't take travelers checks so it seems that more and more, credit cards are becoming more of a common way of spending.
