You know Mrs. HM and her mistrust of the innernets for financial purposes. I just can't trust it. You might THINK everything is fine, but it's not.
On the 17th, we got the gas bill for Bargain House. It's due on the 24th. There's a weekend in between. I don't have confidence in the bill getting through the mail and being recorded in time. So on the 18th, I paid it online, through the Guest Pay portal. I've done it a few times before, with no problem.
I did everything exactly the same. Used the same card for paying. Got the THANK YOU message, with a confirmation number, which I did not write down, because they always send it in an email. The email that comes within a minute of the confirmation.
Well. No email. I've been waiting for over an hour. I KNOW I read the thank you and the confirmation number. I checked my email online, too, in case my phone was just being laggy. No email. So now I'm in a tizzy, wondering if that payment got there over the invisible innernets.
I guess I can check with my bank over the automated phone system on Monday, because it won't show up until then on their system.
We need to go back to the barter system. Farmer H can hitch up the dogs to a wagon, and haul me to an office, where we will offer some handyman work from Farmer H, or trade some winning scratchers for payment!

Welp! Now the invisible innernets have ruined my post! The confirmation email just showed up. Over an hour late. At least that ordeal is over.

I always write down the receipt number that shows up when I pay something, we don't get the confirmation email, I think because I do it through my online bank account, not a "guest portal".
River,
I pay the satellite bill for TV/internet online through my bank account, and they still send me a confirmation email. It's the only service I have linked to my account. The fewer the better, and this one takes so long to fill in a guest pay that it's not worth the trouble.
