While check guarantee cards are available in Denver (where they are very
useful, and nearly everywhere will take a check, if you have the card to
go with it), they are not everywhere else.  The only thing we ever got that
was close was "WELCOMECHECK" cards here, that were supposed to be honored
at "participating" merchants.  Well, the few people I did find that 
the logo on their window, didn't even want to see my card so I can't
tell that having one did me any good.
