FAQs

Why is my bill higher this month?

If it suddenly looks as if we charged you more this month than previous months, it might be because you use a checking account to pay your monthly fees, which comes with a surcharge.

We apply sales tax to your monthly membership fee – based on your state and local tax regulations and rates – which could account for the remainder of the fee increase you may have noticed.

You can see a detailed breakdown of your monthly bill by signing in to My Account.

Why do you need to charge this fee just because I use my checking account to pay my bill?

Have you ever withdrawn money from an ATM that didn’t belong to your bank? You had to pay a fee, right? This is a similar situation. We pay extra expenses whenever we process a payment from a checking account, so the fee allows us to continue offering you the option to pay your monthly bill without using a credit card.

Note: Debit and check cards count as credit cards! To avoid the surcharge, change your payment method to the Visa or MasterCard associated with your checking account.

What if I don’t have another payment option?

We’re very sorry for the inconvenience the surcharge may have caused, but it allows us to continue offering flexible payment options.
