Travel money myths and why I miss travellers’ cheques

Why am I refunded by cheque?

31
Cheque

You’ll usually find a coin or two when you clean out your sofa, but I was recently surprised to find an uncashed cheque. Unfortunately it was too old to cash in, so I had to let it go unclaimed – all seven pence of it.

Why’s it so hard to get hold of a chequebook?

Chequebook and bank card

I remember a time not so long ago when my bank sent me a new chequebook on a semi-regular basis. Does your bank still send you chequebooks?

Our latest investigation found you could be paying more than £100 extra for your gas and electricity if you pay by cheque or bank transfer rather than direct debit. That’s £100 to process four cheques!

Mixtapes and payphones – what traditions have you given up?

16

Ringing the cinema to find out film times, calling 1471 to check the last caller and making mixtapes. These are just a few of the traditions that Brits have given up due to digital developments.

Start spreading the news, the cheque has been saved! The Payments Council announced yesterday that cheques will continue in circulation for as long as consumers need them – and the victory is largely down to you.

We need an independent review on scrapping cheques

82
Close-up of cheque and pen

From the strength of opinion here on Which? Conversation, we know that abolishing the cheque is unpopular, so it’s good that the enquiry’s been reopened. But we need to take it further and have an independent review.

Are you ready to wave goodbye to the cheque guarantee card?

24
Woman writing cheque

This June sees the closure of the 42 year-old cheque guarantee scheme. Is this the banking industry’s way of weaning us off cheques in advance of their attempt to do away with cheques altogether?

29
Woman writing cheque

58
A cheque being handed over

When we started a Conversation asking, ‘Do you want to save the cheque?’ you spoke up in great numbers. But we weren’t prepared for such a resounding response. The cheque, most of you agree, should stay.
