That way if they overbill us, we have some recourse BEFORE the money goes away. Also, even if you automate the process, you should check the bill anyway, because sometimes errors happen and if you just assume everything is OK you may not catch them in time. Great article!

But what kept me from doing so is the concern that there could be mistakes albeit rare, with double billing which I may not even catch! Or perhaps if you needed to cancel something at some point, it'll be a headache as some companies are a challenge to work with (cancellation or reversing payments could be a bear). I've had some friends tell me they've had trouble of the sort. But I could just be paranoid. So i'm picking and choosing what bills I do this for. Gosh I always wanted to set up auto-pilot payments.
