Just a thought

I want to buy a shirt to help GKTW but I don't use checks, lost my check book the day I got it, use my Debit card for everything.

On my banks website I can do free online bill pay, where they print up a check and send it in for me.

So my checks in the mail and I never had to pick up a pen or lick a yucky stamp.

I don't know if anyone else has thought of this, but it seemed cool to me. HTH

That's the same way I pay my bills. Either the bank sends in the check for me or it is just an electronic payment. It is soooo much easier than the old way of paying bills!

I was also going to ask if any of the podcasters have a PayPal account. Then people can pay via PayPal and you have the money right away.

Just a suggestion.

I did it this way. I had my DIS name and shirt size put in the memo field. I got my shirt and I am glad to have it!

I think they said no to pay pal since there are fees associated with that and they want all the money to go to the cause.

From the GKTW sticky thread:

5. I know that many folks can only pay via paypal or credit card. I'm sorry but at this time we can only accept checks. It goes beyond the fee involved for processing. It has to do with the accounting as well. Since this is for a charity the amounts collected and paid to the charity must be clearly documented. With the checks it is simple - the money coming in is the money that goes out. If we involve a service that imposes a fee, or a seperate account (like paypal) then the accounting becomes a nightmare.

I am going to ask DH if we can do it though the website from Canada.
That sounds neat.
