For more than thirty years, UK banks have issued cards for use with cheques. The card would guarantee payment of the cheque up to a specific amount (£30, £50 or £100) even if funds were not available in the account. It made cheque payments secure for retailers.

The cards were either dedicated guarantee cards or they could be use as debit or credit cards, depending on the issuing bank.

In 2012, the cheque guarantee scheme was ended and paper cheques are no longer guaranteed. This move is in line with the UK banks' plans to withdraw cheques completely in the coming years.

Do hotels charge credit card when reserving a room?

No. The credit card is only used to guarantee your room reservation. Nothing is charged to the credit card until you have checked in to the hotel. When you check in, they will ask if you want to charge the room to the same card used when making the reservation. If you prefer to pay cash, or use another card, they will make the change at that time.
