If you choose to place a case by case hold, you are subject to the $100 availability. Since your check is only for $99, you can't hold those funds beyond the next day using this type of hold. Your only other option (if you allow the check to be deposited)is to qualify the item for the reasonable cause exception (invalid routing/account number, notice from paying bank the check is no good, etc). This way, the $100 availability does not apply and you can hold the funds for the full 11 days (depending on the type of check).
