Thank you,
GoingAway! That's exactly what I was trying to say, in a much longer version though.

It seems you were using the "pull" method to pay your First USA bills. Am I right? I read from other FTers' misery that First USA messed up their autopayment. That's why I suggested the "push" method, i.e. having your bank (Wells Fargo) send payment to First USA. Nowadays, most of the banks offer free online bill pay services. On top of it, you can track the payment history in case anything went wrong.
