USPS to Me: Pay Online

The U.S. Postal Service taught me a valuable lesson yesterday: "Pay your bills online." You see, when I mailed my credit card payment on Monday I had only put a 41 cent stamp on the envelope. I had forgotten (honestly) that the post office had raised the rates to 42 cents. My post office was kind enough to return-to-sender the envelop with a quick blurb on how to fix the problem by adding the penny stamp, but I took it a different way. Why not pay the bill online? It was just the kick in the pants I needed. After I went through the steps... I found that two of my credit cards are with the same bank and both can be paid online from my checking account. I configured payment alerts and lots of great things like the "go paperless" program. I am now very motivated to pay all my bills online. I'd like to see if I can virtually eliminate all my snail-mail bill paying. Thanks USPS!
