That's not an option for me. I live in Poland and realizing cheques would be MUCH pain to me. I once tried to do this with Google Adsense cheque, before they started to sending international wires. It took TWO freakin' months to complete. Not everyone's live in the US you know. MtGox reedem codes for USDs and Bitcoin transfers for BTCs please.

a rapid method for those who have the email-notification (number of the transaction, the date, time, how much), slow - for those who have not. Please MtGox-code (became the de facto standard for USD) and transaction Bitcoin for Bitcoin.
