For those who write personal checks my question today is:

Do you have a special design printed on your checks or are they the bank checks with no design at all.

I just have the plain least expensive checks, at one time I did use a very pretty print on them but have since reconsidered and use the plain ones.

Mine have beach themes on them. The bank I am at had a promotion for a free box of checks (any design) when you opened a new account and I am still on the first book almost a year later!

My bank just gave me free printed checks. I have roses on them like my name but the best is that i got a checkbook cover in pink with a rose cameo on it.

My checks are just the plain blue ones that are offered through the credit union. Boring, but I hardly ever use them anymore. I pay my bills on line and use my debit card for shopping.

Mine have a rose in the corner. I bank with the credit union, and 3 years ago the considered 50 to be a "senior".
Since I was 50 at the time, I got free checks. They now have upped the age to 55, but since I was I was "senior class" I am grandfathered in and still get free checks.


I rarely write checks though. I write a rent check and one to my church. Everything else I pay online.

Plain beige ones. DH and I both use the checkbook, occasionally, and those were also free.

I work for a bank so my checks are free so I chose the most expensive ones.

The paper has different feline fur patterns. I have a Siamese cat sitting next to my name and I have some saying on it but I never use checks so I have no idea where I packed them away at.

I really only write checks for 2 things, my mortgage and my lot rent, but I recently was running out (after it taking me 4 years to use 4 books
) so I ordered new ones from one of those checks in the mail type places and I got kitties, of course! They are sort of like water color paintings, very pretty. I got 4 books for less than $5

I ordered checks with kitties on them when we ran out of plain ones finally. Now I'm trying to write checks as much as possible because we want to leave the bank we're with, and all the checks are to be used with

Nope. I use the plain green ones my credit union gives me for free. I rarely use them. When I got married and changed my name I had to destroy like 3 boxes of checks from changing my address and them sending me new ones and me never using them. Now they have the option to order only 2 books at a time instead of a whole box, I went with that with the name change.

I have fancy checks....they cost the same as the plain ones (after using up the free checks from the credit union) so I figured I might as well. The design is baby endangered animals, in the Precious Moments style. I ordered, I dunno, 6 boxes? when I moved into my house 7 years ago, and I still have a bunch left. I don't write many checks. But they were cheap. Less than $30 for the 6 boxes, if I remember correctly.

Me neither- I never got checks with my bank account, and I never asked for any.
