It means postpone it until a later date.
Comes from sporting events where spectators would get a voucher for the rearranged match if one was cancelled because of the weather.

a rain check means to do something later. The term may have originated in the era of open-air markets where the occurrence of significant rain usually required a vendor to pack up his goods and leave causing the people to postpone there plans
