When did I say that I need it to be mailed to me? I said I like to review it before I pay it. I never said I need to review the hard copy, I login to the website and review all the charges online before paying it online.

If you can review charges in real time, there's no need to "review everything on there," at the end of each month.

How does any of this prohibit you from setting up auto pay for the minimum payment due (1% of your balance), in the event you’re too busy to check for an entire month after the statement closes?

I guess the only difference here is cash flow. Also you might be less motivated to actually check if you don't have a payment due soon (easier to procrastinate).
Personally, I do what you do. I don't like automatic payment either -- I prefer to know what's going on, and that's best done by doing it manually.
