Hahahaha - my Credit Union, while I absolutely love them, has probably the most archaic and worst bill pay feature of all time. I'd send a check today over trying to use my bank's bill pay .

I called Barclays. Charges are indeed pending and the statement closes on the 26th of the month (3 more days). All I can do is hope the charges post tomorrow and I can pay them via the Barclays website (pull the money). Yes, I'm 'anxious' and would love to get the bonus on this first statement, but let's face it, FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS if I have to wait one more month for the bonus miles to post. I won't be booking the flights until March-ish anyway. But hey, we can always look forward to something right?

I know, sounds crazy, but I get a 'high' when miles, bonuses, points, etc post. It's what gets me (and I'm sure a lot of you) excited.
