Paying bills

[jipped genes]

how do you pay?

snail mail and check
debit card
credit
auto draft
cash

any others i missed?

i just got a mastercard that has no annual charges and pays me 1% on all charges and 5% back on all gas purchases. I have been using debit for all but i figure why not get 1% back? I mean i have it set up to auto draft 1X a month from my checking so I never have to pay individual bills again.

they will not let me pay my damned mortgage with it though.

thoughts? recommendations?

Re: Paying bills

our damn rent is the same freaking way jipped. cash or certified check only and in person. such a pain in the ass and they still charge late fee if you have to be out of town for an emergency. we had a damn death in the family and had no way to pay on time, so we got a nice hefty late fee after only being 3 days late. crock of shit if you ask me. we pay everything else by card

I use online bill pay for regular bills. Cash that has NEVER gone through my bank for anything I don't want the government to see.

Congrats Dad, Private school will be the best money you spend to enhance your son's ability to make it in his future. I underestimated the benefits of this when I was young but the contacts (friends) they have later in life will more than make up for the cost. Public school parents always brag about how they are in the best school in the district. Unfortunately the school district has a terrible record. I live in Nevada the WORST public schools in the nation. I have to figure out a plan for my Grandchildren.

Re: Paying bills

Usually, I pay my bills via my mobile PayPal applications and never have any problem proceeding with the payment.

Re: Paying bills

I use a Discover card which gives me money back. Right now I have $500 discover card credits to use on Amazon. Of course, nothing can fuck up your financial life like credit card debt at 25% and youre only paying the minimum each month. That shit will stick with you for life. You gotta pay the damn thing off every month or dont use a credit card.

In my situation, I'm unable to pay with any online apps, so I often use cash or my credit card to pay my bills.

When I acknowledged that the bank takes the additional fee for these types of transactions, I used the services like Squeeze | Find the lowest rates on your recurring monthly bills. Not just once, but forever. to proceed with the payment, so the bank didn't take the fee, and the payments went forward perfectly. Besides the payment feature, the service I mentioned has a wide range of economizing options that you can apply to your monthly payments to save some money.

Re: Paying bills

I use credit karma and they told me I will boost my credit score if I apply for a new credit card. Something about the more credit you have available, but dont use, the better your credit blah blah blah.
Credit cards can be as evil as hell. I dont trust those companies and Biden passed laws that allow credit card companies to screw you over. Joe Biden was in cahoots with the wealthy credit card companies and helped them out with new ways to charge and screw the consumer, like Biden always does
