Haven't heard anything more than the usual isolated incidents. Personally, I don't use my credit card at all in Bali. I have a visa debit card and use it in the ATMs to withdraw cash instead.
I recommend to most people to not bother with traveller's cheques though. They're way more trouble than they're worth. Any ATM fees will be off-set by not paying fees on buying TC's (and converting left over ones when you get home). Take some extra cash to leave in the safe deposit box as a back up and you'll be fine.
