You'd do better off talking to the trainer about them using a service such as Square and agreeing to pay the ~3% fee they charge for this. The deposit it rather quick so it's about the same as giving a check and the trainer depositing it for clearance.
Thank you! That is what I have done and she is amenable. Thanks.

I am in Portland, OR in the US. I have a credit rating around 750. I think I would like to have rewards to pay for travel upgrades. I have the money to travel, but can never justify paying the extra for particularly cushy things like air class and hotel upgrades, lounge access, etc. Does that make sense?
