Many big retailers can tell when you have paid with a check and will not give cash back. They won't complete the return until they can tell the check has cleared (1 to 5 days). Little businesses cannot and may give cash back. It all depends on the policy.

If you dont have a bank account and you need to send someone a check/ cheque then get a money order. Walmart and local US postal services sell them. You pay a little extra on top of what amount you need it in. Just go there and say you need to buy one and tell them how much you want it for. It is guaranteed money better than a personal check because it can't bounce/ not be valid.

Don't do it!!!! They charge really high interest.  If you had to write a check out of your personal account for them to hold until you can pay, they can cash that check as soon as your agreed upon time to pay has passed.  They do NOT have to tell you before they do it.  Then, not only do you have their stupid fees, you also have a charge from your bank for a returned check!!!!

Yes. I always return it immediately.\n\nIf it was short, I would say so. The same applies to too much.\n\nI have been a cashier, and I understand.\n\nI also believe that it is wrong to take what is not mine. Sounds sanctimonious, but it is true.  :-))

Everybody is going to pay(or lose) on this one.\nThe person who wrote the check is paying for non-sufficient funds and if the merchandise is not returnable,the price of the merchandise, plus amount the merchant attaches as a returned check fee.\nThe merchant is missing merchandise if it is not a returnable item, and they may not get paid still\nPayPal hasn't gained anything monetary and they have been required to return the check, and notify the merchant of the hot check.

Nope, not from the same finanical institution.  Most banks will only cash checks for account holders.  Try a check cashing place and pay the fee.

One of two things will happen:\n\n1) After you give them your bank account number, they clean out your bank account.\n\n2) They send you a check for 10,000 dollars.  It seems to clear.  You send them a check back for 9,000 dollars.  Then the first check bounces.  You are out 9,000 dollars.

Yes.  I get a check every month from CashCrate and I have never had a problem.  It always clears my bank.

Most banks sell Cashiers Checks instead of money orders - basically the same thing but easier to cancel, trace or replace.  Your also paying for the banks time which they consider more valuable.

If you saved the stub/carbon copy from the money order before you sent it, it can be traced to see if it was cashed.  The post office can always tell you about it IF you bought it there.\n\nTake the paperwork where you bought the money order.  They can check to see if it has been cashed.

You should contact the issuer (whether it's the result of a federal refund or a state refund) to find out whether they can issue a new check.

The M/O could "bounce" because it could be fradulent. I would contact the bank regarding the check before depositing to make sure its authentic or bring it in person to your local bank and ask them to verify it.

The ink that's printed on the check with your account number is actually magnetic, the reader is then able to read the account number and routing number off the bottom of your check, and it can check your account info against the different check verification sources to determine if a check is likely to clear or not.  If you've had bounced checks you haven't paid and been reported by your bank to one of the verification places, and they have you in their system, then it'll return that info to the merchant trying to run your check and they'll refuse it.

My guess is no. The last time I tried to return something there, they gave me a hassle.

yes you need the money order back,  then you can date it or take it back where you bought it.
