@Kachina624     I BELIEVE THAT!    They have actually posted WRONG payment amounts on their monthly statement.

Re: Do You Still Write Checks?

Yes, I still write checks. I pay some bills by autopay to my credit card, same with HOA monthly assessment, some bills auto draft from my checking account and some I pay by check.  I paid my car insurance a few weeks ago by check and I had some landscaping work done and paid that by check. 

I don't see checks and postage stamps and cash as the enemy, as some do. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I used to write checks for my church tithe but after running out I decided not to use checks anymore, paying online as I also do for my bills. It works very well for me.

I just wrote one today  at the Veterinarian as I suspected a 3% charge for CC. compared to last year no problem. I brought my check book in case. My dentist is also charging for CC use. I bought a riding lawn mower  in June at a Local Sales outlet and 6% for CC payment and VISA only.  The mower was over $2000 so would have added alot more... It takes me an hour and 20 minutes to mow and my old mower  was 30 years old.   It all depends.....

I think predictions are correct, checks will be a thing of the past at some point and probably fairly soon.

 

And it's a bit worrisome about paper money too.  Wonder when that will go away.  We tend in our business to have some cash exchange, there are many that will only accept it.

@rockygems123.  I have a debit card I've used for years just like cash.   Since it comes directly from my bank account, I have no CC bill to pay.  It has the same protections as a CC.

Yes. For local tradesman, places that prefer cash or check, gifts, and donations.
