Jake- that's the whole point. He couldn't overdraw- bank will just decline a purchase or return a check unpaid. This whole thing reminds me of reason 453 why I use cash though (green stuff).

oh ya- noooo problem. Just came across this a few days ago at the local Safeway. There had been a wreck a little ways up the road, and demolished a phone switching station thingie. Net result- no phones, no computers. And there is one..... count 'em one person standing in line with cash ready to check out.

Cool! I'll take 5's, 10's, and 20's.

That's why when I go shopping, I usually bring both cash and a card, so I can make the decision weather to use either.

Why not just get bank card for interact purchases ?

around this area of the world ,Cheque Cashing Privilege Cards went out in the mid-80's.

Very few businesses accept cheques anymore, that's why they got interact machines.
No more dealing with NSF cheques and trying to recover the money their lost.

That's what he's trying to get Dennis- that's what the whole thread is about. The bank is holding him up on the bank card.

Yeah, i got one coming now, its got a stupid limit on it, but oh well. my college does alot of business with TCF bank, like even my student ID card has a swipe strip on the back of it thats tied to a TCF account. THe only problem is i dont want to rely on TCF checks. I know there's alot of places that will accept checks, just not TCF checks. at TCF you can get everything free, its just so big i dont really like it. Thats why we picked this smaller bank. I"ve also heard alot of bad things about TCF mixing up money and mis charging things. Heck, when i had my accound opened up there, i put in $1 to open it, (then later put in another 50, figuring i'd never use it) and i got my statement, and i was down to like 45$, they charged me for my checks (get free checks as a student!) Its just stuff like that that worries me about them. But i think all is well now. Got my dumb piece of plastic.
