I used to use a credit card for most payments. Then someone got my number, and they gave me a new one. That was a PITA.

A think a lot of people misunderstood my question. I am not asking how you PAY them. I am asking how you RECEIVE them. Sorry for the confusion.

I get all my bills via e-mail.

Things I pay automatically:

(1) Post Office Box
(2) Utilities

Everything else I pay manually.

Also, I am pretty aggressive about getting myself removed from postal mailing lists. I've been pretty successful except when election season approaches (Sigh...).

Most are received online, though a few that I want to carefully check, or keep for a period of time, are paper. All are paid online.

They are one in the same for a lot of us. I receive only one bill per year; property tax which comes in the mail. Nothing else; everything else is on autopay, and bills are available if wanted. I never check them unless I find some auto-pay amount to be out of line with normal. I balance once a week, so stay on top of expenses.

For most, I have set up e-mail notifications for when bill is available and five days before payment is due.
I then go on-line to view the bill and schedule payment. I download the bill and send an e-mail to myself with reference to certain dates and charges for future reference. I have e-mail folders for these self-addressed e-mails, i.e., taxes, wedding expenses, etc.

Some are set-up as auto-pay and I don't see a bill. I am just notified that the charge was made. These are monthly charges that do not vary, i.e., cell phone bill.
