Question

Morrison and Asda have stopped taking personal cheques. Do Tesco and Sainsbury still accept them. Ta?

Answer 1

It's another cost cutting measure, so most supermarkets will follow suit like the banks do, but one usually abstains because they are guaranteed extra custom!

Answer 2

Tesco certainly are. My local Sainsbury is also.

Personally, I tend to use a card, but know that a couple of friends of mine use cheques if, for example, it's a Friday and they're not getting paid till the Monday. Perhaps not recommendable... but I can imagine a lot of people do that and any supermarket who will take them is probably going to take the small but present cheque paying custom!

Answer 3

i guess so.. bank has offered me a credit card now. so i guess it's all money saving.. also to prevent fraud.. and save on admin costs... or perhaps get us all in debt.. who knows.

a friend sent away a cheque for £7000 years ago, was intercepted in the post, and the theiving *coughs* doctored the cheque to make it payable to them..

down to the bank paying out anyway.

Answer 4

Who on EARTH uses cheques?! Get a Switch, Solo, or Electron card. If you can get a cheque guarantee card you can get one of those.
