Or they could do something like AMEX GCs do and have free shipping for 90 days.

10 days have gone since they sent a check and my leasing office has not received it.
Through Plastiq's website, I chatted with a gal who said to wait till Tuesday.
Ok, so there might have been inclement weather delays, maybe the leasing office didn't open their mail or what not but THERE"S NO SORT OF TRACKING!
I opined they might want to install a tracking system like UPS or FedEx or for pete's sake the USPS has, where one has a TRACKING NUMBER and can electronically TRACK THE PACKAGE! One could see when it left, what stops in between, and when arrived, and finally when deposited. Seems logical right?

My leasing office told me I have a zero balance today (Feb 1st) so they received the check, question remains when.

Anyone been able to switch cc's on a locked in recurring 1.5% rate payment? About to cancel the cc and would rather just use Serve if they won't let me switch it.

Just got an email from Plastiq notifying me that a check was deposited. That's a nice step towards not having to religiously check my accounts to be sure payments make it in time.

Looking into this to pay my rent and hit some minimum spend requirements. I figure $75 for the $3000 minimum spend is worth it for pretty much any credit card signup bonus.
It may not be the "cheapest" MS, but it sure seems like the easiest.
Doesn't even require pants
