Q:

What is an "authorized buyer"?

A:

An authorized buyer is an individual (for instance, a family member) who you allow to
make purchases on your account. This helps you keep an eye on your loved ones’ spending, and lets you earn benefits on their purchases too. You, as the primary account holder, remain responsible for payment on all the purchases on this account, including those of any authorized buyers(s). To add or remove an authorized buyer, please log in to your account and click "My Profile".

What is a paperless billing statement?

A:

A paperless billing statement is an online version of your monthly billing statement. It contains the same information as the printed billing statement you receive in the mail. When you enroll in paperless billing statements, you’ll receive an e-mail notification every time there is a new billing statement ready for your review, and instructions on how to make your payment.

Q:

I am enrolled in paperless billing statements. Why am I getting a paper billing statement?

A:

First, confirm that you are enrolled in paperless billing statements by reviewing "My Profile" within your secure account page. If your profile shows that you are enrolled, you are likely receiving a paper billing statement for one of the following reasons:

1. If you recently enrolled in paperless billing statements, depending on when your account last billed, you may receive one final paper billing statement.
2. You will receive a paper billing statement if you are more than 30 days past due on your account as a payment reminder. Once your account is current, it will automatically go back to paperless.
3.If we cannot deliver email to the address on file, we will automatically resume mailing paper billing
statements until you update your email address through online account management.
