Write your checks if you must, but be quick about it for God’s sake.

There are many instances when the hold put on your card exceeds the amount that you've actually spent. On a related note, US Bank is notoriously bad about its fee policies. I called their customer service line recently and was actually charged 2.00 because I talked to a person when I could have gotten the information via the internet or phone voice response system. I am looking for another bank. You are absolutely correct. There are many instances when the hold put on your card exceeds the amount that you’ve actually spent.

Many places, like restaurants and gas stations put on a hold for a certain amount that is more than the amount of purchase, and it sometimes takes several days for the actual withdrawal to take place. That means I was getting charged fees even when my actual account balance was never overdrawan. Once that cost me several hundred dollars I switched to a credit union and switched back to checks or cash whenever possible.
