(c) Subsection (b) shall not prohibit any person from doing any of the following:

(1) requesting, receiving, or recording a credit card number in lieu of requiring a cash deposit to secure payment in event of default, loss, damage or other occurrence; or

(2) recording a credit card number and expiration date as a condition for cashing or accepting a check where such person has agreed with the card issuer to cash or accept checks from the issuer's card holders and where the issuer guarantees such card holder checks cashed or accepted by such person.
