Its funny you guys are fans of suntrust.
I was banned by them!!
My lawyer said they are one of the most conservative, anti-gambling banks there is and they will ban any person they think is a gambler. I met with them, showed them my tax forms - and they said "see ya".
No big deal, but Suntrust - in my experience and from what I hear - is not a gambling friendly bank. There are some that are. Think Canadian in America.

When it comes to checks, many financial institutions will put a hold on checks to cover their ass, especially if it is for more than your average daily balance. To make it harder for us, tellers are held responsible and could be terminated for returned checks they cash without putting a hold on them.
The part I don't get is, could these offshore outfits make their paper checks look more counterfeit than they currently do? fuck. It's hard enough to cash a regular check from another country without the extra hurdles. One example: the check I got today was made out on the 6th of Feb, so how does the check get dated? 6/2/07. nice. I can see it now, I go to the bank in the morning and they tell me to come back in four months. That on top of the fact that it's the cheapest looking check printed on the cheapest paper possible can be frustrating.

you will have no problem with that check as its from a top book BJ and it should have came with a insert explaining why its dated like that? so dont sweat it i have cashed many from them with no problems so far and isnt it nice getting that check in 2 or 3 days unlike other books that are taking 2 to 3 weeks to get checks to people?
i am not worried about the validity of the check at all man, just the hassle. I have already gotten the opinions of a bank employee friend that expressed their concern about the check. In the end, they said they would definitely cash it, but with a hold. The date was right on the other forms, not sure why it's dated like that.
All in all it was a decent transaction, not quite as good as the experience I had with Cris, but still very good.
