(I also posted this in the member's lounge, but I thought it might be a good idea to put it up here too...)

So I've never had a credit card, only debit, and before I leave for my semester in Sydney in 2 weeks, I want to get a credit card or two. My parents want me to get an American Express card, and I was also thinking about getting the American Express Travellers Cheque card.

My question: Is American Express accepted widely, especially in Australia and New Zealand? Would you say that, for example, a MasterCard and regular travellers' checks would be a better bet?
