Hi Gale; I had the same experience a couple of years ago. The payment companies seem to think these is "convenient" for us (and for them, since they get the money with less work).
Best course of action is inform the vendor that you are displeased, and revert to the old fashioned payment method of mailing a check. <Admin mode> Let's not all pile on this one folks; as the subject says there isn't much directly S related here. </Admin mode> (That's begin and end Admin for those not conversant in HTML) ;~} Pieter E.
