I can get Citibank online bill pay for free, or I can fork over $10
every month to Intuit. Is the Intuit online bill pay so much better
that they deserve a 10-spot from me 12 times a year?

I'm confused. (not exactly the first time ...)

Citibank told me that with an Everything Counts account, they don't
subsidize the Quicken Online Bill Pay. Either you pay ten bucks a
month, every month, to Intuit (which I very much do not want to do),
or I use the free Citibank online bill pay. If your experience is
differnet, then it's time to get back on the phone with the Citi
people.

The Citibank people could not tell me the advantages of the Quicken
service other their own. That is what I'm asking about.

It is a long time ago that I got an everything counts account. I use
Quicken to make payments from that account. It's done through the "on
line center". I have 800 446-5331 as a phone number for customer and
technical support.

The whole thing is so transparent for me, I have no idea how it works,
but it is more "direct connect" than "Quicken BillPay", I believe.
