But if you ask your bank to make an automatic payment every month, and they can't do an electronic transfer for some reason, they'll mail a paper check for you at no charge. That's how I pay my rent every month, from a Wainwright account.
Yep, I know friends who pay their roommates for utility bills in the same way. I know Bank of America will send paper checks as automatic payment if you want them to.
I thought so, too, though it depends, I guess. You eliminate the need for a checkbook, meaning saving paper and not worrying about it getting lost. Also, if you're really forgetful, it helps.
But yeah, I agree with the silliness of it. It's like the people in my office who call the person 3 desks away...
