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.

    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!!!
1319.3I need copies!MARRHQ::KORCHNAKMon May 02 1988 14:2412
    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"?

    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?

1319.6Where did that check go??CLUSTA::TAMIRACMS design while-u-waitMon May 02 1988 15:1111
    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!

    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.

    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....
