Power company recently outsourced their payment system and now have to pay a fuckin’ fee to pay my goddamned bill. The only way to avoid that is autopay.
Further infuriating is I have to re-add my bank info to yet another third party system.
Fuck the modern world, man.
Visa debits cards can be used as a credit card, but debits from your bank. Added bonus is that you get fraud protections that your bank may not offer for debit transactions.
Edit: that is not to downplay that you said you were in a tight spot.
