1319.0. "Current Cat Checks" by MARRHQ::KORCHNAK () Mon May 02 1988 11:48

    I don't know how many people noticed in Cat Fancy the small article
    on Current magazine. They offer checks with pictures of cats. They
    are REALLY cute! The only problem I have with them is that DCU wants
    duplicate checks, and these are not yet offered in duplicate. 
    
    I was thinking that if enough Digital cat lovers made a request
    to current to have these checks offered in duplicate, that possibly
    they would make them that way, and we, too, can have adorable checks!
    
    BTW: there are 8 cat designs.
    
    I'm planning on writing them and asking them to consider making
    the cat checks available in duplicate. If anyone else would like
    to make this request, or receive a copy of the flyer containing
    the pictures, write to:
    
    Current, Inc.
    Check Printing Department
    Colorado Springs, CO 80941-0100
    
    Or call:
    
    1-800-426-0822
    
    Let's see if we can't get these checks in dupe!

	DCU now has available checks with cats and dogs....unfortunately, it is a set of three, with two dog checks to 1 cat check. cin

	That's interesting...I know of an individual who picked out the Current seashell checks and is using them with the DCU...no hassles that I've heard of...maybe if you don't tell anyone and just do it!!!
1319.3	I need copies!	MARRHQ::KORCHNAK		`Mon May 02 1988 14:24`	12
	The problem with DCU is that you don't get return checks (unless of course you pay for it). Using the duplicate checks it's easier to have the receipt that you really wrote the check. That's why I wish Current would make theirs available both in duplicate AND non-dupe. I also saw the pet ones that DCU offered. You know, if they had had 2 pics of dogs AND 2 pics of cats, i might have ordered them. BUT... I'm prejudiced -- I'd rather have more cats than dogs, or just cats!

	What is a "duplicate check"?
1319.5	Current checks	HAZEL::FLYNN		`Mon May 02 1988 14:49`	9
	I have been using Current check for about a year now. I have no problems with them, and the DCU doesn't mind either. If I need a duplicate of a check, I just call and they make me a copy. No problems and I get alot of compliments on them too. I haven't even had one bounce yet either? Jeannie
1319.6	Where did that check go??	CLUSTA::TAMIR	ACMS design while-u-wait	`Mon May 02 1988 15:11`	11
	A 'duplicate check' comes in two parts, the actual check copy and a carbonless (aka NCR paper) paper copy. When you write out a check, the duplicate copy stays in your checkbook, and the check part goes to the payee. DCU uses these duplicate checks because they do not return the cancelled check to the account holder (to keep down costs). There isn't any problem with using some other brand of check, or checks that aren't duplicates, providing you (unlike me!) are very good about writing down where and when and how much that last check was for!

1319.9		SKETCH::BASSETT	Design	`Tue May 03 1988 13:48`	6
	I saw an article in the "Catmopolitan" that advertised checks that they can print your own kitty picture on your checks. A few banks offer this...I think. If anyone is interested I can bring the article in and type it word for word. Linda
1319.10	I WANT CATMOPOLITAN!!	58019::HTAYLOR	Cat lovers are a special breed	`Tue May 03 1988 14:03`	7
	Linda, To get completely off the subject, WHERE DID YOU GET "CATMOPOLITAN"? I have been looking for that magazine for months! Holly
1319.11	CATMOPOLITAN	NSG022::POIRIER	Vacation soon!	`Tue May 03 1988 14:32`	6
	I know you didn't ask me but...:-) I got Catmopolitan from the bookstore in the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua. Suzanne
1319.12		HUMOR::EPPES	Make 'em laugh	`Tue May 03 1988 18:27`	13
	I've seen "Catmopolitan" in bookstores all over the place (southern NH and Boston area). (By the way, there are two bookstores in the Pheasant Lane Mall.) I've also seen it in various catalogs. Just to clarify the DCU-and-duplicate-check business: duplicate checks are optional at the DCU. If you order checks through them, you get your choice of duplicate or "regular" checks. It's up to you. I never knew you could order checks from other places. I always thought you had to go with the selection the bank offered. Learn something new every day.... -- Nina
