I don't even know what a check card is, or what the difference is. I use a Visa debit card. I can use it like a credit card, and it takes directly from my checking account. I don't even go anywhere that doesn't take visa anymore. Cash is my enemy, as it has a way of sneaking off when I'm not looking.

i don't think there is any real difference between the two. It is just called a different name by different ppl.

kind of like bobcat and mountain lion.

Debit cards can be used in debit and credit transactions but still take money from your checking account. A check card, only allows for debit transactions.
