Credit Cards

I received an email yesterday telling us that our Visa statement was available. Really that means it was time to face it and arrange to pay it. We no longer receive paper copy of this statement. I like paying it direct because it saves a printed check and a stamp.

I keep our Visa charge slips in an envelope by the kitchen phone. One central place so that I take the statement, match the receipts, staple same to back of statement, and return to the computer to set up payment for the exact day it is due.

We do not carry balances on our charge accounts. We use the cards for many things including eating out, fuel, and semi large purchases like on this statement we charged our new snow blower.

This card is tied to United Airlines miles. We want to change to some other reward but have procrastinated for about 2 years now. Maybe this afternoon we'll make that call.

'til later
