I have a tracking spreadsheet that has a similar purpose - helping me make sure I don’t forget a card. And it also helps me track spend by card, loyalty program, and bank, and tracks various promos.
In the 9 years I've been doing this I've never had a statement not make it to me, but I pay them off 10 days prior so I can confirm a few days later that all the websites say zero due. I've caught typos this way and also reversed payments (stupid Amex ending all their accounts in 100#)
Sure I could pay them that way too, but I find it more annoying.
