Except the First Union Check Card has an added feature.  Most retail stores
will not accept "Debit Cards" for payment.  Mostly gas stations and very few
supermarkets.  The First Union cash card can also be used as a VISA card. So
I use it for purchases anywhere I want to use money from my checking account
and do not want to write a check.  I can also be used in ATM machines as a 
debit card.  I get great convience from this card and also save a little $$
not writing so many checks.
