Yes, this is what I mean. I know it's often a paper check. Much like some of the other comments, sending a paper check gives me several advantages. I've had really bad luck with using a credit card and automatic payments. In particular, it led to my insurance being cancelled. I seem to have my card number marked bad by the bank at least once per year, and either get a new number, new expiration date, or just have all transactions blocked. Having a scan of a cancelled check in my online banking account has worked a lot better in proving those sort of payment disputes than anything else.
