question about visa check card

[Lager]

I am interested in getting visa check card since I cannot get a cc since I'm too young, and I was wondering what is the limit for visa check card? I want to buy a new computer and if I get a check card, I want to pay it with a check card, not cash. Thanks.

I'm interested in purchasing a customized computer for 700 bucks at a local pc shop.

A check card deducts from your checking account, so the limit is however much money you have in it.

What he said.

If you use a Check Card it will be using your cash from your checking account. No limit, just as much money as you have in there.

Some limit online transactions to $500, others you can do up to $5,000 to $10,000 depends on the bank.

RossMAN, there is a hot deal on Dell laptop today. Did you get in on it? I want that so bad.

Do you think it's a good deal? I'm thinking of begging my parents to let me have one.

I think most have a daily charge limit of $300 or $700.

depends on your checking account, and your bank... my bank doesn't have a limit on the amount i can use daily, but you gotta have money in your account.... the amount you have in your account = your check card limit.

i have mine with wells fargo, and i think they limit my purchase price to some stupid level... not sure exactly

They probably limit the amount to reduce fraud. Otherwise, one fraudulent billing can wipe your account clean. That would lead to bounced checks and all sorts of major problems. A chargeback may not restore your funds for weeks.

Which one? There's like 4 Hot Deals, everything but the 1100 is a great deal.

Just ask your parents to buy it, then you pay them back.
