That's a BS excuse. There are tele-check services that will run checks through and make it like a debit transaction at POS (the check gets written, swiped, and returned as a "Paid/Canceled" check to the purchaser right at the POS). Going to the bank to deposit a check is no longer a necessity.

Yeah I once had about $25K racked up on them. Kept transferring the balance to new cards to take advantage of some temporary 2.9% deal or some bs like that. Finally I stuck a piece of paper on my refrig, with the current balance. It was like a motivator to see it get lower and lower.

I use my CCs pretty often but not all the time. Pay the balance each month. I try to use them for all online purchases. My wife's debit card somehow got into the hands of a UK theif a year or so ago who ordered ~$2K in LED grow lights. BOA credited us the money within 2 days, IIRC. Was a bit of a PITA.
