You can order 100 checks for free until the end of May. There is a hefty fee after that.

The value in my opinion is that you can reduce the turnaround time if you were going to have BB mail you the check, which you were then going to mail on with a voucher to the ultimate payee, to make sure the payment was properly credited. Now you can skip the step where you wait for BB to mail you the check, and just send your own, with the voucher.

Go to the My Account" tab, click on the "order BB checks" menu item.
