Title: snail mail or internet...
Post by: warhawk on November 29, 2007, 11:02:23 AM
hello fellow chrome domes..... as i sit here balancing my checkbook... i was wondering.  do u guys pay your bills thru the old school way (snail mail) or do u pay everything on line or do u pay your bills using both systems.  i'll start:  i pay all the bills using the old school method (snail mail).

so... how 'bout u?  old school?  internet?  or both??  what's your story?

Online all the way.  My bank allows me to schedule when they get their money.  They never get it before the due date.  Never a day too soon or late.  I love online bill pay. It has cut my bill paying time at least in half.

Amen, brother... and it also helps when you realize your payment is due in 2 days, and there ain't no way it would get there with stamped mail.

I have been in the same boat! Most of mine come out automatically, the others I can pay online. I don't think I have any bills that I put in the ol' mailbox to pay.

Thank goodness Al Gore created the Internet otherwise I would have to buy a lot of stamps.  :*)) :*)) :*))

I pay as much as I can online.  When you travel as much as I do, there's just no way to keep on top of paper bills.

I pay online, but don't have any of 'em set up automatically.

Would that be "old-school" internet banking?

Some are internet, some are snail mail.  I use internet for credit card payments, all the others unless I can easily control payment date, are snail mail.  The credit card bills are easiest, and I avoid interest payments by selecting the posting day as the due date on the statement.  I can't trust the USPS so they may get my money too early and rob me of my interest from the bank.  None of the other bills have that problem.

Online only. I have been using MS Money since 1999. I set it up to make sure the bill gets paid the last day possible. It gives plenty of notice when a bill is due. I used to miss a lot of bills and had too many late fees. Now I never miss a payment. No more stamps, no more envelopes, no more late fees. No more balancing my checkbook or writing checks. I think I only write an average of 2-3 checks a month, usually for church. And before I moved, the church I went to, I sent my offering via online too. May start again soon but it seems more proper to actually put the money/check in the offering plate.
