Wanna help me with work?
 

I need some non-scientific polling type information for something I'm working on at work. So if you'd be willing to answer these questions I'd find it helpful.

1. How many actual paper checks per month would you say you write on average? (Do NOT include online bill pay services).

2. What is the split between household bill paying and still using them in stores at point of sale?

3. Do you regularly use checks in a way that wouldn't seem to fall under either category in question 2? If so, please share if you're willing.

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

Thanks for anybody willing to answer.

1. How many actual paper checks per month would you say you write on average? (Do NOT include online bill pay services).

1-2 checks per month

2. What is the split between household bill paying and still using them in stores at point of sale?

I haven't used a check in a store in years. So, then, 100% bill-paying.

3. Do you regularly use checks in a way that wouldn't seem to fall under either category in question 2? If so, please share if you're willing.

Only if I'm paying a person directly (i.e., paying back for something they bought for me, paying a photographer for their services, etc.

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

I suppose, in theory, I could use two accounts (my old solo account, and our joint account.) I don't, though, I just use the one.

1. How many actual paper checks per month would you say you write on average? (Do NOT include online bill pay services).

One (rarely two)

2. What is the split between household bill paying and still using them in stores at point of sale?

Only household. Rarely ever POS unless they don't take plastic.

3. Do you regularly use checks in a way that wouldn't seem to fall under either category in question 2? If so, please share if you're willing.

Rarely.

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

Welcome!

1. How many actual paper checks per month would you say you write on average? (Do NOT include online bill pay services).

On average? About 4 to 5. I recently switched to having my auto insurance deducted automatically from my account, so that's one less!

2. What is the split between household bill paying and still using them in stores at point of sale?

I never use checks except for bill paying, although I used one at Costco the other day. I heard however, that they now take credit cards. I stick to good ol' cash or credit cards.

Does zero count? One a month is probably pushing it, since it's closer to 6-7 times a year. That may change, however.

I can't say for my household, and I'm in a student demographic right now.

2. What is the split between household bill paying and still using them in stores at point of sale?

My case, perhaps, is unusual. Most of my bill paying, and the bill paying that goes on in my house, is primarily electronic, with the exception of our gas bill, which doesn't have electronic or online bill-pay.

The only thing I use checks for are paying my tuition twice a year, and if I have to buy books at the campus bookstore. Never at a regular store. Just use my ATM card.

3. Do you regularly use checks in a way that wouldn't seem to fall under either category in question 2? If so, please share if you're willing.

Nope.

100% household bill paying

All for bills

I don't think so. Paying for Maddie's school lunches is a bill, right?

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

Just one

1. 3-4

2. 95% bills, 5% other (see question 3)

As few as possible. For the sake of argument, let's say 1.
I *never* buy anything by check
Check-by-phone to bill collectors, which I don't believe counts in this survey.
One.

1. How many actual paper checks per month would you say you write on average? (Do NOT include online bill pay services).

Less than one - I've only written five checks since the first of the year (However, Susan pays the bills: I am sure her numbers are higher).

2. What is the split between household bill paying and still using them in stores at point of sale?

3 Household bills and 2 POS

3. Do you regularly use checks in a way that wouldn't seem to fall under either category in question 2? If so, please share if you're willing.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but 2 of the 3 bill checks were done over the phone (I didn't physically give the check to someone - they just took the information over the phone). I don't use checks to pay hookers any more.

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

One, but we do have savings overdraft to back it up.

Since my husband does bill paying, I figure his answers are what you'd want. For me it's never ever, don't even carry a checkbook in my bag, barely remember how to fill one out. Ironically, our library doesn't take credit/debit, so we often get the crumpled, forgotten check in the bottom of people's purses.

once a month to the guitar teacher.
Every other week to the afterschool provider,
whenever I need to for school lunch, and whatever I have to pay for at school. (bookfair, pta dues, fundraisers)

I do all bill paying and shopping using EFTPOS and Online B-pay, so gave up the chequebook ages ago !

In the rare instance where cash or E-funds won't do, I get a Postal Order from the Post Office.

I wonder of Alex is still using these?

I'm still interested in seeing the answers, and they are very interesting to me.

Oh, good!

I want to help you with your work. I really do. But I do not approve of your methods. They are, Sir, truly barbaric.

You don't post for six months and all you have to say is "ditto?"
