[...] I picked one credit card that did not carry a balance but which would earn me cash back on purchases. I put every bill I could think of on that card and then put all my purchases on it as well. I used ING to pay the credit card so that I would never have late payments or even have to think about when the payment would be due. [...]

Interesting idea to send in a check every week to stay on task. An idea you may want wanted to consider, would be to take the extra money you overpay each time you send a check in to your credit card company and invest it in a money market bank account or some other account that offers you interest. Therefore, you could be accruing interest on that money instead of giving it to your credit card company to make money off of your money.

My only issue is that I hate any form of automated bill pay due to some past bad experiences. I know I should change my thinking but for now I’ll stick to the old memory.

Be very careful with having the credit card pull directly from your bank account because if there is an unauthorized charge on the card then the bank will pay it automatically and you then have the hassle of going through hoops to get it fixed. Why don’t you just have your bank push the payment to the card instead? That way only what you say will go to the card. You DO have an ING account right?

I recently got a new American Express card (for the cash back of 1% to 3%) and one of the first things I did when I got the card was log in online to my AmEx account and set the card to pay off the balance in full automatically from my checking account each month.

I totally agree on that issue. Why should someone worry about the credit card, if its a waste of money? I mean it were those little plastic cards that brought us into trouble!

I’m using ING services myslef and it’s a great alternative for those having problems with paying their checks in due time. Automating your finances is a great way to deal with many problems and save some money at the same time.
