I know you can use a cheque in a supermarket (like tesco, morissons etc)

i know you have to use your cheque guarantee card (debit card)

but can you get cash back this way?

i dont get paid till monday and am a bit poor so wouldnt mind getting some cashback when i go to buy some food later.

It is when they want to take the money from your accpunt for the purchase.

This is what i thought. I thought the idea of using a cheque was so that the funds could be taken out 3business days aftwards but the guarantee limit on the card makes sure they can take money out (otherwise you get charged the amount + a cheque reversal fee from the bank).

No i dont have enough funds in the account till monday but if i bought stuff today then it wont go out my account till tuesday/wednesday which is fine.

I sometimes pay my petrol this way and never had a problem.

I love disclaimers.

O.P.
NO.

I also feel it should be an offense to write a cheque and not have the funds even though it isn't in this country.
In France if you write a cheque you cannot meet you are Nicked Guv,Nooooooor. As it should be if you ask me.

I love France.

malc30 is wrong 90% of the time please ignore if appropriate.

If this is the case why dont they get rid of cheque books

Nothing says 'I am living beyond my means' more than people buying non-essential goods with a cheque and guarantee card
