As The Credit Card Turns

As pains in the ass go this isn’t the worst, but it’s certainly a pain! No two sites do it the same. Some seem to go out of their way to keep you from figuring out what to do.

Our credit card is expiring. Today was my day to change information on accounts I use. Helaine had already done hers.

As pains in the ass go this isn’t the worst, but it’s certainly a pain! No two sites do it the same. Some seem to go out of their way to keep you from figuring out what to do. Google is the worst offender!

Why am I sending money to Google? I buy extra space for my email and Picasa accounts. Also, Google sells some apps for my Android devices.

Let me save you the trouble should you have a Google payment to make. It’s called Google Wallet! Oh yeah, I remember now. Unfortunately, as far as I can see there are no links to the mysterious wallet from the pages I deal with.

Runner-up winner for the most difficult site is E-ZPass New York. They’re a winner from previous years.

Since it’s E-ZPass you’d think they’d own E-ZPass.com. Nope. On top of that the non-hyphenated EZPass.com goes to the New Jersey entity–where my account isn’t!

In any event it’s done until we’ve get the first email from a bounced payment. You know we’ve missed something.

  1. I have used ez-pass for years…….cannot live without it…… It always shocks me when I travedl in MA, what a bunch of Massholes, I think, when I fly through their version of the ez-pass lanes while all these cars with MA plates wait to toss their coins……… dopes !

    I have always used EZ-Pass direct in NJ, never had a probllem and a very user friendly site…. I know some states do it differently, For comparison….I have 3 cars, all on one account, no cost to sign up and you can have up to 25 “boxes” on one account………….$25 deposit to get started, when used down to $10, they charge your CC another $25…… Or if you chose, you can replenish it yourself…..but why? If NY is any more dofficult or charges fees, I’d changes…..Oh, I get email statements every other month, can print receipts off of them for expense accounts, the fee (I lied) id $1 for each statement, so $6 per year…….AND I get discounts on some tolls……i.e., the GW bridges is $8 I think now??? I cross it for $6 (I think, I know it’s about $2 cheaper)…..so in the end the fee goes away……

    Just some useful info !
