From: HD_3 on 9 Aug 2010 19:50 What we were planning on doing was take the TC's with us, and then cash a couple each day at the hotel. That would give us spending money as well as have the TC's for backup/security. I figured the day would come that not many places would take them, especially now with all the electronic debit cards, etc. I still like them because it's like having cash, so I don't spend more than what I have budgeted. ~HD_3 "Rudeney" <rudeney(a)mickeypics.com> wrote in message news:i3pk3u$skr$2(a)rudeney.motzarella.org... > On 8/6/2010 5:26 PM, jt august wrote: >> In article<i3hu4r$5h0$1(a)rumours.uwaterloo.ca>, >> "MitchB"<sugarandspicefortwo(a)hotmail.com> wrote: >> >>> The only small hiccup was that some places would actually call >>> American Express to make sure the TC was legit. >> >> That's the sad result of scammers who have passed bogus ones enough >> times.

From: Lilith on 9 Aug 2010 21:12 Budget? We don't need no steenking budget. Back when money was an issue it was well that I scheduled my two weeks to straddle two months. That way I got a payday to bolster my bank balance. -- Lilith On Mon, 9 Aug 2010 18:50:26 -0500, "HD_3" <MN_SMC(a)yahoo.com> wrote: >What we were planning on doing was take the TC's with us, and then cash a >couple each day at the hotel.
