    Lot's of trades people still accept them and don't take cards alone.
    PERSONALLY (and that's the important bit), I've never had a tradesman ask me to guarantee my cheques, even when it's for less than £250/£100/my limit...

    Maybe not, but it is nice for them to know that the payment is safe.;)

    Looks like this change to Visa isn't in the best interest of customers to me..

    The few people who still pay with cheques for anything and everything are very much outweighed by the people who appreciate Visa's greater acceptance, I'm afraid. Sorry, but hey.

    But surely there is another downside to Visa, buying currency will attract a charge.

    Or I have I missed something?

    I know that some banks charge and some do not, HSBC have never charged their Maestro Debit Card holders, but others that use Visa Debit Cards have.


    Oh well, we shall see,

    Thanks for that Id, that is good news, I still prefer my Maestro Card, but at least that has removed one of my concerns.

    I realise that some suppliers make a charge, but I never use them.

    Again Thanks.;)

    :D OK, I'm off to snoozeville now, you have a lovely time.

    Just remember, it it wasn't for negative comments, you would have nothing to defend.

    Nite nite xx;)
