Please read the following disclosures regarding AAA Travel Money Products: AAA Tidewater Virginia accepts cash, cashier's checks from local Hampton Roads area banks (made payable to AAA Tidewater Virginia), and the AAA Credit Cards. Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express are also welcome but please read the following important information:
Important Information: When using your credit card to purchase cash equivalents like travelers cheques, foreign currency or Travel Money cards please be aware that financial institutions that issue your credit card often charge an up front cash advance fee of 2 percent to 4 percent of the cash advance amount. In addition, cash advances accrue a significantly higher interest rate than traditional credit card purchases, sometimes with an annual percentage rate (APR) approaching 30 percent. Unlike traditional purchases, this rate is charged beginning on the day of the cash advance, allowing no grace period for repayment. Finally financial institutions often apply credit payments towards lower interest charges first, making the cash advance difficult to pay off.
