Matter of factly, when I booked a vacation with Qantasholiday 3 years ago, if i paid by credit card, i had to pay 3% extra. i ended up paid by check.</font>
At first I was going to comment that a lot of businesses that offer discounts when paying by check ignore the costs of bad checks. Sure, a check doesn't cost anything to deposit, but some of them come back with a 100% discount fee, so to speak.
But an airline selling package tours probably doesn't have to worry about this. They probably have an advance-purchase requirement, and if the check is not honored, they don't honor the tickets.
