It's awesome that most financial transactions really, really, really want you to pay via credit card (by making it a lot more onerous to pay with any other method) and then charge a 1-3% "convenience fee" for doing so.

How did we let them get away with this and make this the norm, people? How did we not push back on this the first time one of these profiteers tried to foist this upon us?

@x00001 "forced convenience" because we made it so "overly inconvenient" to do it any other way...

@peterbutler I'm not sure that I can use Zelle to pay my COBRA insurance premiums. My only experiences with Zelle so far has been that it requires a phone number or email address, and I don't know how that would work for a business.

I guess I could set up my bank to make payments from my account, but then there's other fees associated with that (as they actually send a paper check rather than a wire transfer).

Like I said, it's onerous to pay any way other than cards.

@revengeday Is there supposed to be options or are they just blank because this is a straw-man, throw-away poll? I can't tell what I'm voting for. :gnah:​
