When do you schedule payment of bills when paying through the internet?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33174points) May 29th, 2013

An example: I received a VISA bill in this morning’s mail – the due date is June 19. I always use the VISA card’s website to pay my bill – I haven’t mailed a check in probably four years, and I don’t use my bank’s Bill pay service for my Visa bill.

Anyway, my routine is to deal with the bill payment as soon as the bill arrives (as in – 10 minutes ago) so I don’t forget to pay it. But I always schedule my payment for one day before the due date (in this case, June 18) – after all, why pay them early?

Is my routine pretty normal?
