... Makes me wish I had physical cheques just so I could do that.

I still pay all my bills with them via snail mail.

I could switch to electronic billing and use the e-pay system at my credit union, but screw that. It only helps the people I am paying. I want to make them work to get my payment. If any of them want to offer me a $1 credit each billing period, then for that company I'd be willing to switch. But I'm not making their lives easier for free.

and yes, I realize if they did that, they would simply build the expense into the bills

Hah, that's actually a great philosophy. But how much do you spend on postage and envelopes doing that?

Don't know, don't care. I know I could save the postage (they send envelopes, even if they didn't they are only about a penny each) and I refuse to save them the postage they are spending, and the costs they incur from having to process my physical payment without compensation. Screw that. Besides it gives me a reason to leave the house, to mail the envelopes. These days I don't get out nearly as often as I should...
