yes, phi_ is right, it's called a check. hahaha. that's how I pay my rent now, but a single bill would be more fun, and I wouldn't have to wait a few days for my landlord to cash it. what I should really do is a direct bank transfer into his account, because then I wouldn't have to go drop off the rent every month.

It's both guys:

Get up off me for being international and using colour and grey.

There is a serious disadvantage of posting time when you write a cheque. To hell with them.

psh that's not being international, that's just being reactionary against American English for no good reason. I did that in high school when I hated the United States.

when I say that "check" is "right," I'm kidding :). it's the way that's right for me, because I speak and write American English. I'm not claiming it's the objectively right way to do it.

Debit times can be avoided by PIN input. :)

Use your pin at all transactions and the money is taken out immediately. :)

yeah i kinda hate the credit option on the debit cards because it throws the charges up in the air for something like 3-4 days. i guess is nice if you really need those extra days for the cash but you should never be in that situation to begin with if you can budget your money accordingly.

merchants hate it too, because it costs them more (i believe).

It costs us 51 cents each time someone gives us a card to run. Credit or debit.

debit is credit, if a pin isn't supplied. and i don't think your pos has a pin input device.
