OK Camelgirl, I have been cashing my personal checks there for maybe 20 years now. They put a several thousand dollar limit, I always just get the limit because it is so easy. They know me there because I have used them all of these years now. I guess you must have a good working account with them, and have the money in the bank as well.
Thanks so much for that info. I can't believe I never knew that. I've been going to AmEx in Connaught Circus since 1975! If you had an AmEx card, they would hold your mail (before the internet, very important!), cash our T-checks and were a lifeline on our India trips. Kind of a home base as we went in & out of Delhi.

I guess using an ATM is still the best way nowadays, but I love knowing I could cash a check if I wanted to. Not sure how to establish a good working account but I'll be sure to find out if we ever get back there (hoping for 2010).
