Stupid Question re: Traverlers checks

[aubriee]

We just got back from WDW Jan 15th and had $500.00 left over in travelers checks. I'm going back to do a solo trip in May of this year. I've looked over the checks and the receipt and can't find an expiration date. Do these checks expire a certain time after the purchase date? Can I use them on my May trip or do I need to cash them in and buy more in May? Hey! I told you it was a stupid question, but it's been a long time since I traveled with traveler's checks and had any left over.

just save your checks for your next trip, they will be fine to use!

They can used on your next trip. Wow....$500 leftover.That never happens to me when I go.

I have about $1000 in travelers checks that I have had for many years. I usually charge everything while on vacation and bring $200 or so cash. I use the checks as back-up cash. The checks never expire and are a good safety net.

I keep unused Travelers Checks for emergencies. They never expire.
