Yep. No reason to pay service charges unless perhaps paying a particular bill might help get you over a spending threshold of some sort. Even there, you've got to weigh whether paying the 2-3% makes sense given some of the techniques, such as coin buying, that would meet the same goal at no additional cost to you.
