RED_POPE I know what are travellers cheques and how to get them... I was telling you that there are countries where Amex cheques are useless, and Qatar is one example. My friend from NZ couldn't have them cashed anywhere (except for 10% commission in Sheraton). He ended up opening a savings account at QNB, depositing his cheques on it, and waiting 20(!) days. Not a procedure you would like to do if you are elsewhere on holidays.
