Do you write checks
« on: August 07, 2013, 04:02:33 am »
It's so easy to swipe a card to buy things. Do you use checks anymore? I got a good deal last year and I bought 4 boxes and it's now taking forever for me to use!

I don't because I prefer quick and easy transactions these days.

I use a check once a month to pay a certain bill but that is all.

Yes I still write checks. I know it's easier to swipe a card but I don't feel as comfortable with that when you read all the negative things about debit cards. Also now most stores print the checks for you and show you the total on the check. It's so easy.

I write checks for bills. My credit union gives the first box of checks for free and that's all we need.  :thumbsup:

With debit cards, credit cards, and paying online I don't think anybody uses checks these days.  But the ones you have won't expire and sounds like you have a life time supply :D

I use a few a month for certain bills but mostly use my debit card. I'm lucky if I go through a pack of checks per year!

I very seldom ever write checks any more.  I use my debit card for most purchases that I physically make.  I pay the majority of our bills online.  If there is a check that needs to be sent, I can direct my bank to send the check for free by using their online banking system.  Sure has made life a little simpler to pay bills!
Have a wonderful day!

I rarely write checks anymore. 

I pay online or through automatic payments for utilities.

The only time I regularly write a check is to pay our water bill every other month.  Our city offers electronic payment, however they charge a $5.00 service charge.  No thanks.

Otherwise, the only other times are for like gift giving (we just wrote one for a graduation gift last month) or paying for a service (like when we paid for a water heater installation a couple months ago).

Sadly not any more.  I used to and I loved writing checks!  My mother still does.
I miss picking out my favorite picture to put on them, signing them and tearing them out!
Ah the good ol days, lol.
