Black Friday Veterans...I have a question??

OK this may be a very silly question, but I really need to make sure I know...

Do all the normal payment options stay consistent on BF? Mostly I want to make sure I will be able to write checks. We don;t want to carry cash...but also don;t want to shut down told they won;t be excepting checks that day.

We do not have a debt card, and its too son to go get one. 

Thanks!!

I'm not sure about BF, but I do know Walgreens sells those pre-paid debit cards. You can load your cash onto that so you don't have to worry about writing checks and be able to use that card the day you load it.

You know thats not a bad idea. Like the visa gift cards. I think theres a charge to buy them...but it may totally be worth the piece of mind.

Thanks!!

I never write checks but I can't see why the stores that accept them wouldn't on BF.

The pre-paid cards are normally just a couple of dollars. And anywhere that excepts that type of card (I think they are VISA) will accept this pre-paid card. But any store that normally takes checks will take them on BF they still want your business.

I would think they would...I just got to thinking what if their systems couldn't support it...where they're are so many people. IDK..Im just trying to be cautious.
