My checks have 4 different Anne Geddes baby designs.

That all makes sense. I guess I have just been using online banking/bill pay for so long for those types of uses that there just hasn't been a need for a paper check. Also, my doctors take credit/debit cards so I go that route to earn the points.
However, I hired a photographer recently and we had to take a check to pay for the session fee, as she works out of her house and doesn't take credit cards. My husband and I were scrambling trying to find where we had stored the checks that we ordered 2.5 years ago!
Oh, and to keep it on topic, our checks are the most generic of generic bank issued checks. But then again, you can see how often our paper ones actually get used! |
