I use both... I use checks to pay bills also... But the debit card can be used at certian places. I can pay my water with a debit card but to use it for my electric I get charged 3.95 so I would much rather write a check!

I use my debit card all the time, the only reason I ever use checks anymore is to pay rent.

The only time I write checks is to pay bills (unfortunately, most of our bills don't allow online payment). Otherwise, I use my debit card.

I don't have a cheque (check) book, but I do have a debit card, which I only use to get money out of the ATM, and to pay for things in an emergency. I pay most of my bills by direct debit.

I use both depending on the circumstance. For bills, I write checks (unless I am able to pay online). For daily purchases, grocery shopping, etc, I used my debit card. It is a lot easier and faster than writing out a check. Businesses prefer it as well because there could be more problems with processing a check than using a debit card or credit card.

I don't think I have written a check in a couple of years now. I use my debit card most all the time, and occasionally (if it's a large purchase) I will use my credit card. I rarely carry a balance on my credit card, though, because I hate being in debt.

I generally just use my debit card. I only seemt o ever write cheques if it's really necessary, maybe for something on ebay that only accepts cheques, or for a bill that I can't do online.
