Do you still write checks?

[AdamH1978]

My wife and I used to write checks for rent, because it would give us another a couple days to make sure the money was in the bank.

I, like you, write few checks.  Don't know if your bank does this (my credit union does), however, some institutions will print you off a few checks for your account.  That's what I have and I don't plan on getting/ordering a whole box as I don't use them.

I havent wrote checks in so long. everything is taken from my card

I still write checks for a few things like my COBRA insurance or random things that don't take credit cards. There are still a few instances... I think I have written five in the last 4 months.

I guess I am old fashioned. I still write out checks!! Everyone that I write out checks to they always state that I can do it online. I just don't feel safe with all my information out there, that is why I still write checks.

I write checks but very seldom (I don't use cash very often either). Usually I use this if what I'm paying for (a trip) will not accept a credit/debit card option or if I'm giving to a family member or friend (e.g. birthday gift, wedding gift).

I only write one check to my landlod

[glenda1bruce]

Yes I still write checks because that is proof of payment and I don't use the internet to pay my bills I dont trust it my daughter just had someone take money from her checking account by steeling her numbers off her debit card so that really scares me.

Only for rent.
Pay bills online.

[pkrahmer]

Many of my monthly bills are deducted from my checking account but I still write a few checks every month.I prefer checks to a debit card and use checks when I go to the grocery store.I use it for other payments as well.

We write a few checks a month, but for the most part everything is paid online, or with debit card.

Unfortunately, you can always find a reason to have checks.

I write some pyaments on check, like doctor's bills that are a one time deal and I prefer to have the proof of the payment.  Also I write the checks for the kids school activities, like PE Uniforms, lunch and any fund raiser or extra payment to the school.  Or any other payment that does not allow me to do it online.  But those are minimum, I write probably 2 or 3 checks at the most duering a month, everything else is done online or thru my bank.

I write checks when I send donations to charities in the mail, and for medical bills, etc. Most everything else I have them take the money right out of my account. I still have a lot of checks, and I'll probably never need to buy more.

Yes, I still write checks when paying my father for rent (I still live at home) and other specific cases in which the person or business I'm paying doesn't accept cards or online payments.  Still use cash on occasion as well - but only when a credit card isn't accepted.
