Just started using a card scanner at the entrance recently.
Very interesting, yeah I know!

If you remember using Travelers Checks. Wonder if anyone takes these anymore.

I use a debit card, never a credit card. I have gotten 2% cash back for years now. Free money. That's

Going through some old files the other day I found I still have a few! They are over 50 years old...from the time when I was in the Navy and doing a lot of traveling. "American Express" Travelers Checks...looks like I have several hundred dollars worth of them. Wonder if they could be cashed in after all these years???

I found the answer to your question!

Travelers Cheques have been a timeless addition to the world traveler’s carry-on for over 130 years. While new Travelers Cheques are no longer issued, your Cheques remain backed by American Express and have no expiration date.

Thank you! Now I'll have to see what it takes to cash them in.

I had a stack of flooring underpayment left over that was a special order. A friend said, "What does it hurt, if you try to return it?" So I did, and got the return price on my account. Trying, makes sense. It was 700 dollars or so.

I found a stash of them a couple years ago, and my bank cashed them no problem. The teller, who probably hadn't been born when these were issued had to ask a more senior employee how to handle them since she'd never run across such a thing before.
Also found a couple old savings bonds that had matured some time in the early 00s. A bit more hoops to jump thru to redeem them, again the teller had to ask someone how to deal with it.
