Do you still write checks?

[candyterrius]

Yes, I still do write checks the snail old fashion way as they are the best secure way to pay for things. I write checks to my friend whenever I buy wholesale items I use on a daily basis, otherwise I pay most of my monthly phone and credit card bills online.

I only write checks for our water bills, as they don't accept any other form of payment which doesn't have some fee associated with it.  Every other bill is done electronically.  Other than the water bill, I only really write checks for gifting in a card.

The only time I write checks nowadays are for birthday gifts. Checks are just horribly inefficient and dangerous for security and should be done away with completely.

I hardly ever write checks. I write a check once a month for the rent and once a month for the water bill (cause they charge you to use a debit! ridiculous!) and thats about it. Occasionally if im ordering a magazine subscription by mail or sending money to family I write checks. If I operated a business, i wouldnt accept checks. I know that sounds harsh but I worked for a small business once and bounced checks was the biggest money drain there was. And even with lots of wasted time and money and effort, most of the time the checks were still never honored. Too much hassle.

I very rarely write them anymore. Lucky if I make out 15 checks a year. But I try to keep a checkbook handy just in case still. You never know when the magic plastic machines will go down...

Not anymore. I don't even have checks!!

[davidf938]

Only for bills that I pay by mail. The debit card is just as good at merchants and does not put personal information into the wrong hands if it is lost or stolen.

Yes, I still write checks but most of the time I use credit cards.

[mrisha]

I usually write checks when I am visiting my doctor which isn't often.  That's usually the only time.

I pay all of my bills with checks....groceries, mortgage, car, ins,etc...I fear that having a debit card leaves you open to alot of theft and over spending.  I know I sound behind the times, but if it aint broke, dont fix it.

[ninajay]

I rarely write checks. All bills paid online.The last check I wrote was because I lost my debit card

[sgluckadoo]

I still do to pay my bills, but that is all. I dont write them in stores or restaurants.

[tashamjoy]

I have never used a check in my life but I am only 20 but I have gotten them !!!! =)

[Storm61115]

yes we still write checks when we have to pay rent or the car payment.

[handllucas]

I still use checks to pay my monthly bills. I am old school and just comfortable with the idea of paying bills online.

I do use the automatic payments for monthly bills where the amount does not change. Like mortgage, car insurance, etc.
