Well, I pay for my auction house purchases, mortgage, electric utility, property taxes, and condo fees using BB. You can't usually use a credit or debit card for those bills, and in cases when you can, there is a hefty fee of 2% or more for the privilege of doing so. That's in addition to paying some CC bills (not Amex, even though I can) and getting free ATM withdrawals when I'm not near my own bank. How do you deal with any of those bills now?
