Looks different and has a different return address I believe.
It might even be drawn from a different bank but I am not positive.
1) Google changed its payment mechanism; checks appear to be arriving sooner;Yeah, my wife went to get the mail and I asked her if there was "anything good" and she said, "No, just junk mail." I looked at the pile anyway, and saw a 37c stamp on one and it looked awfully real to me.... so I opened it and saw the check. Good thing, since junk mail often sites for days/weeks around here before it is dealt with, and usually dealt with without opening.2) Publishers were alerted not to throw out that "junk mail" with a no-name return address from Buffalo; and,
3) Google forgot to tell publishers about the changes.
I agree that Google should've alerted it's publishers about the change, but I also agree with their not putting their logo on the envelope. Hey, I dislike the bankers in my small town from knowing all my business, I certainly don't want the chatty letter carrier knowing everything... although he does already.. too bad. I love the "How's Google Treating you?"... not.
Also, when I lived in a more urban setting, it was fairly common for people's mail to be stolen.
"EFT is the way for me".
I'm still holding off on EFT for a month or two until I hear how other people like it (or not).

I'm holding off until it's out of beta. The business side of Adsense has hit repeated snigs and snags. While they haven't been terribly earth-wrenching, do I really want to trust my money to a G business beta program? I'll also wait until I see how it goes with the early adopters.

I'll also wait until I see how it goes with the early adopters.Well, I'm not living hand-to-mouth so I guess I can afford to be an early adopter. I figure there's almost 0 chance of anything going wrong that doesn't get corrected eventually.
I also can't imagine that they didn't really closely check things out for US ACH payments, considering they'll be moving actual moolah into people's accounts.
That said, I HAVE seen some strange things happen at banks over the years.
Indianads asked me in an earlier post to describe what the envelope looked like. Maybe he thought he throw it away not realising it was a check, or may have had another reason for asking. Regardless I do not think that answering another members direct question could ever be considered trivial.
Thanks novice. The envolpe information is very useful to me. It will help me in identifying my check more easily.(The check comes to my office address, usually I have to search through a pile junkmails to find it out). My usual practice is to look for Google logo on the envolope. As it has been changed now, knowing how the envolpe looks like really helps.
Ha, if I wasn't reading this thread I would have never know it had arrive today (in Boston area). White envelope.
Chip-
But three important things come out in this one:
Corrention: This shows four things. It also shows there are morons out there. Any one who gets money through the mail and doesn't open every letter that they get that doesn't say where it's from, is a moron, and should lose any checks they throw away. It only takes five seconds to open an envelope and look at it.
Oh yah, it also shows how lazy they are.

Corrention?
At least morons was spelled corrently.
This morning the mailbox was full of our neighbors mail, (mostly bills.) We had one piece of mail, and it certainly would have gone in the junk pile that sits on our desk for weeks.
I handed it to my wife, and she says, "Looks like junk mail." It was kind of damp from all the rain, too. She starts tearing the sealed part off at the top.
She looks at me and said, "It's the Google check?"
Return address Buffalo, NY.
So now our neighbors won't see our mail from Google anymore. But we sure would have freaked if we would have ripped it open and tore the check.
Any "UPS Club" got there's yet?
Nothing here.
Not even approved :(
Oh, wait, I thenk I won't be a moron. *Spends two secands opening it.* EUREKA! It's a check from Google!
Not me (Netherlands).
> Google logo on the envolope
I've never seen that, it's always been a plain white envelope.
my last month check was from Buffalo NY, citibank check and in the type of enevelop that you guys have described now.
I am not in US so i guess my check wud take a few days more..
Off to the bank!
Nothing in this morning's post here in the UK
will arrive before friday in countries that has transit time of 2 days i guess (http://www.dhl-usa.com/TransitTimes/IntlTTime.asp)
Sorry for my need to be absolutely sure, but the last check (Jan) got lost and this next one is quite important.
Yeah it's laser-perfed, but not right at the fold. You need good eyes and a steady hand to find the perfs and fold it once before trying to separate.
The check is issued by the Citibank?
Payable at: CITIBANK, N.A.
THROUGH CITIBANK (NEW YORK STATE)
The text reads:Payable at: CITIBANK, N.A.

Thanks
