The title above also found on the small color flyer inserted into my monthly statement from the local credit union where I do my local banking. Now they're offering a chance to "Win $5,000 with FREE Online Bill Pay".
I remember a few years ago when several of the online bill pay services were charging money for the service, and now they're going to give me a chance to win $5000. Ah, the evolution of banking processes -- it seems someone woke up and realized that processing thousands of paper checks (or as some would prefer to read, 'cheques') can be a big laborious process.
The back also asks "Did you know that if every U.S. household paid their bills online, we could cut solid waste by 1.45 billion tons per year?" Wow, that sure is a lot of paper pushing (& trips to the recycling bin... and electricity running shredders... and...). As Michael Scott says in Season 3 of The Office in the Business School episode, "But real business is done on paper, okay? Write that down." Students around the university lecture hall quickly type his comments into their laptop computers.
So, this paper ad goes to the family recycling bin while I continue to pay my bills online. I'm guessing I've already joined the revolution. Now I have to wonder if the $5000 is a check or if they will direct deposit it to the winner...
