Quoted from metallik:Paid for my Halloween with a check. Not paying extra fees on a transaction that big.
Its kind of funny, I have been writing more checks in recent times rather than less. I did a bunch of home construction projects and the contractors like checks better than credit cards because of the high credit card fees. Sometimes you even get an invoice which has 2 options, with a 5-7% upcharge if you pay with credit card versus a check.
