Do you still use checks?

Yes, but only because that's still the only way to pay some bills. Usually my water bill is late because of it.

Nope. I order a few checkbooks and I've used them once like two years ago.

The last time I wrote a check was in high school, when I got my first check book. I owed a kid $1.25 for a soda, and wrote him a check. 
 
...he never cashed it.

For my medical bills and the like i do but thats about it.

@TooWalrus: That is the best way to get out of owing someone money I've ever seen.

Nope. Drives me nuts when I run into some archaic form of payment that only accepts them as I then have to go to the bank and get one or two just for that one dam thing. I just use my credit card for everything and online banking to transfer between the two. I don't remember the last time I actually handled physical money. It's all digital and plastic for this guy.

I don't but I have been working on getting an apartment and apparently its common practice for them to not take cash or debit cards. So I will be getting a checkbook so I dont need a money order to pay rent. I might end up using it to pay utilities too I havent thought that far out yet.

inb4cheques

I only use them to pay rent. I've actually never lived somewhere where you could pay for rent any other way.

@TooWalrus: I went ahead and did a second play through. It hit me a lot more in the second play through because i was sitting there dumbstruck and what happened at the end of that game lol.

Fuck checks. Debit card all day son.

Only rarely. The only thing I pay for regularly with checks anymore is my electric bill. Though I did send my brother a check to pay back my share of a birthday gift we're getting Mom just yesterday.

@j0lter: Yeah, I thought I was pretty clever... On an unrelated note- your avatar makes me sad, the other day I beat P3 for the first time and... well, you know.

God, now you guys just reminded me...Damn it.

@Cloudenvy: Feel that depression :D

Yeah, but always for the same 3 things. Electric, Gas, and rent.

Rent is pretty much the only thing I use them for. I keep important documents like my passport and birth certificate in my cheque book though, because I know it will only ever be in my locked desk at home. It's an easy way to know where it is when I need them.

I have to... my health insurance doesn't let me pay online. So its either a check or money order and I'd rather do a check because thats WAY less hassle.

I've probably written a total of about 2 checks in my life.

@TooWalrus: I have yet to play The Answer, its basically just a solid grinding of your personas to gain reassurance of what happened in the original game. So i find it hard to do more grinding after i maxed out my level in the original game. But more power to ya if you play it

Have to use one for the rent, cause there's no way in hell I'm mailing cash to my landlady.

Nope. We don't really use them in Europe.

I prefer to store all of my financial credits on my monetary unit card.

Rent payments in the U.S. That's about it.

To pay bills I still use checks. For everything else though it is either cash or debit card.

Ya for like 2-3 bills but that's really it anymore.

cheques are for old people that dont understand new fangled card-ery

I take a gander at them if I need to remind myself of my checking/routing numbers if setting up online payments/transactions of some sort, such as financial aid.

With online bill-paying and Paypal, I don't have much other use for them, and I hopefully *knocks on wood* won't be paying rent anytime soon.

I ordered some checks recently and I plan to never use them.

Never used a Cheque and probably never will. It's an antiquated form of transferring money from A to B and is completely redundant in the world of online bill payments and money transfers.

Yes because it is the only sane way to send money through post in cards etc... (if you actually know how to write a cheque then it is easy to write it such that no one can steal and use the money for their own gain - unlike cash) and for some it is much easier to use cheques than online services (such as some family and to teenagers/children who may have a child's savings account but not a credit card yet).

Im not allowed to have a bank account...

Sure do. Every year when I pay state and federal taxes, I whip out the ol' checkbook with my address from 5 years ago. I'll also write checks when I need to give someone money; I am too lazy to go to the bank.

They ONLY time I've ever written a check was a year ago when I moved into my first apartment and had to make a security deposit.

Apart from that the only time I've handled checks have been from other people that I have to deposit.

I have a checkbook but I never use it. Debit card FTW!

But I'm going to start leaving that sucker at home. It's too easy to spend money if I don't have it.

Cheques are the pits

Here and there I can't pay for things online. Like my son's after-school care, things like school pictures and some specific bills.

I can pay most of my bills online, except the water bill. I still have to send those bastards a check every month.

I've used one in my life to buy an iPad.

I don't use them in an normal everyday activities. However every month I mail my maintenance check using a check, also on of the only times I use regular mail too. Other than that I probably only write 6 checks a year. When I send money across the country for my fantasy league, I use a check.

I've gotten checks from my bank, but never used them.

only for rent

I don't use them that often but for medical bills I usually send a check.

Haven't wrote a check in my life yet, although I'm only 18. I had to get a check from my bank to pay for a speeding ticket and that's it.

Yes. Sometimes I need to dig my chequebook out to find my sort code.

Yes. If not the fucking car company charges me $5 to do it over the phone/internet

not really, only a few times. i pay stuff by debt, cash, there really isn't a reason.

I pay rent with my roommates and the one who turns it in for us always prefers we pay with cash but he ultimately uses a check for all of us. Nevertheless, I personally don't use checks at all. I should probably keep a checkbook on me, just in case, though.
