Anyone still pay bills the old fashioned way? I can't remember the last time I wrote a check. Saves a ton of time. Once you get all the payees set up it is a breeze. And I get 10 cents for every paperless transaction. I've talked to some that say they don't trust it but it is the safest way to bank.
I still have to pay my homeowners association dues via check four times a year, but every other bill I pay online.
I use so few stamps in a year that everytime I do use one I have to double check them to make sure the price of stamps hasn't gone up. As far as checks, I'm still using the same book of checks I had five years (and three addresses) ago.
I had more problems with putting checks in the mail than I have ever had with online bill pay (zero).

yeah
Plus you save 44cents for the postage stamp....And you save time licking the stamp and finding an envelope to put it on
And you don't have to lick the envelope and seal it
And then you don't have to open your front door
And walk all the way to the mailbox
And then walk all the way back
And then have to open your front door AGAIN to go back into the house
Online bill paying is definitely the bomb

Just fine and dandy until my Cable company charged me four separate times for the same charge about a week ago. Now I have to drive to my bank to get my statement and then bring it to the cable company before they fix the charges because they say they only billed it once. About an hour of wasted time. Blah.
Since bill paying online is so fun, I am sure you all won't mind paying a UN vig.

Presto, that doesn't surprise me. The US Postal Service has inquired about some sort of tax on emails (since this is their excuse for why they are losing money).
Anyhow, I pay most of my bills online. Only a few are "automatic" bill pay. I do write a few checks (condo homeowners association - on my rental property...and child support - for my 17 year old son)....
