I still get mailed paper credit card statement and I mail checks for payment.  It works for me so that is what I will stick with.  If I got a statement emailed to me, I would still print it out for my records.  Then I am using my paper and my ink.  If any one rolls their eyes at me, I can assure you that I don't care.

We like getting mailed statements too.....We just don't want to rely on electronic statements.  I miss thumbing through catalogs.  I know that so much is now online.  My husband has kept many old reference books on repairs instead of looking it up on the computer.  Also, I still love cookbooks....I make notes beside a recipe or a big "X" if we don't like it.

I pay on line but I really prefer a hard copy of my statements so I can take the time to scrutinize them at night when I am alone and it's quiet and I can focus.  I don't see as well numbers on the computer and I can get confused

You can print it out easy enough.

I'm not sure why people are so reluctant to get their billing statements and paying bills on line.  They obviously have computers.  DH and I haven't gotten a paper bill or written a check literally in decades with never a problem.  I don't understand the hesitation.  So much simpler and easier especially setting up autopay for utilities.

Because it is probably the riskiest thing you ever do besides walking into a TB clinic and using the napkins of a patient.

I think it's less risky than having my account numbers and personal information floating around the country in the mail.

Good grief. The angst about this change is over the top. 

There are so many ways to mitigate the risk of online statements but not statements sent by mail.

You can print the statement if you want. 

It's your choice what cc or dc you use. Do what you want. Pay the fee or don't use the Q cc or use another card and move on.

Trees will thank you too. 

Welcome to the 21st century.

The thing about closing ones account? What diff does it make as long as the cc is not used? I am very curious about this.

Just like people like electric cars or they don’t. I like to receive paper bills, I keep them filed. I pay online, however. The younger you are, the more likely you are to prefer everything electronic. I don’t like spending so much time with electronics, my eyes aren’t what they were. Yes, my eyes hurt less writing checks, lol, but as I said, I pay online. I feel it is wrong to fault people for their preferences, that is what makes the world anything but boring, right?

No one is FORCING anyone to do anything.

You can still receive a paper statement if you wish, you're just going to have to pay a fee for it. Whether or not you're okay with that is up to you.

Personally, I haven't received a paper statement in years. Everything is done electronically and on-line. Any bill that I can have set to autopay on one of my AMEX cards is. Of course I review all bills to check for discrepancies, but I've yet to find one.

So many banks have adopted this $1.99 fee for paper statements.  I do not like it but it seems I would be cancelling so many cards (QVC, TJM, Lowe's, HSN).  I believe it is only a matter of time before all credit card banks do this.
