Maybe that Arrival Card is the way to go....
I received the VX card when it was first released years ago and never used auto pay. Every month I would log on and simply schedule my payment. I can see how they would hope that alot of people would forget that so they can collect extra fees or interest rate hikes.
That arrival card is very appealing benefit wise. The points are worth almost as much as VX points right? And we can use them for more than just airline tickets. My flying will probably be cut alot this year (finally) and I think it may be smarter to move most of my spending to the Arrival card. Sorry VX
