I've been reading about people having trouble with them as well, not necessarily in Belize. The businesses claim the signatures don't match. I know my signature doessn't look the same twice, and the ones on traveler's checks are really sloppy by the time you've signed a dozen or more of them at the bank.
I once tried to cash some TC's at the branch bank that issued them, and where I had an account. They made the same claim about my signature. That was in California!
On the other hand, I can take one off to Milos and have no problem at all ........
Some vendors do not want TC's because they do not have a convenient and ready way to convert then quickly to cash.
