Never go paperless unless you either get something in return (Citibank
paid me $40) or you're going to be homeless.


Good policy. T-mobile gives me a $1/month credit for being paperless.
I require a monthly statement from everyone else.


Yeah, the desk isn't complete without reams of useless old bills
cluttering the place. They go perfectly with the receipts handed to
me for every insignifigant purchase. If I spot an error and get a
twenty five cent refund, I want another bit of a dead tree to
commemorate the experience. The refund isn't enough, I have to have
the bit of dead tree to prove it really happened. I save them all as
an heirloom. Seeing every phone call I've made embossed on a dead tree
makes the experience complete.

If I want to look up a bill, I go online. Paper bills are as
worthless as junk mail.

Unless their database barfs, and you happen to be disputing a series
of charges. Not real common, I'll admit, but it does happen.

I have had that happen in two cases. One was a little bizarre because it
was a from a business that had purchased another business and apparently
they were combing through old records looking for money and decided I
hadn't paid invoices that were almost three years old.
